It’s time to set the record straight, reveal common birth myths and empower pregnant moms, like you, to make informed choices for your birth. Let’s uncover the truth!

What to expect in this episode:

• We’ll debunk the myth of the ‘all-natural’ ideal and empahsize the importance of informed decision-making...
• How comparing your birth experience to idealized social media isn’t productive, and why your journey should be what’s best for you...
• Exploring the perception of labor pain and how the show “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” is a good example of panic without preparation...
• Understanding what it means to be “on the clock” from the moment you’re admitted into the hospital in labor...
• ...and how you can set yourself up to be in control of your birth expeirence by creating a birth plan to communicate your preferences and feel confident in your choices!

It's time to dispel the myths that can lead to unnecessary stress and unrealistic expectations. Remember that your birth experience should be about informed choices, personalized care, and empowerment.
