Birthing Bravely: A Pregnancy Podcast for Natural Birth
I’m diving into a topic that I’m incredibly passionate about—informed consent. If you’ve been following my journey, you might remember my first birth story from episode two, where some pretty shocking things happened. From having my water broken without my consent to an episiotomy performed without even a heads-up, my experience left me determined to ensure that no other woman has to go through what I did.
In this episode, we’ll explore what informed consent really means and why it’s so crucial for your birth experience. We’ll break down scenarios like epidural decisions, labor inductions, and even Cesarean sections, showing you exactly how to advocate for yourself and make empowered choices. I’ll also share real-life examples and tips on how to ensure you’re fully informed and in control of every decision during your pregnancy and birth.
