21. Sara G’s Birth Story: Preventing Birth Trauma and Navigating the Hospital System

We love a great redemption story!  Sara went to school with me and we were friends in high school, so it was great to reconnect and learn that we had such similar birth stories!  Being young, naive and ill-prepared for birth in the hospital system, what did we take away to then achieve the birth we knew that we deserved as women? You won’t want to miss this episode as we casually discuss what is missing in the birth industry and how we can take control and responsibility to get the birth we’ve always wanted!00:28 Reconnecting with Sarah04:20 Sarah's First Birth Story15:18 The Role of Medical Interventions26:49 Improving Birth Experiences37:38 Informed Consent in Childbirth38:39 The Importance of Childbirth Education42:47 The Role of Doulas and Birth Coaches44:32 Navigating Hospital Births and Advocacy46:28 Postpartum Support and Challenges53:24 The Importance of Prenatal Care01:03:03 Final Thoughts and Advice for Expectant Moms01:05:06 Outro and Upcoming TopicsMore from My Friend's a Nurse:Join us for the Next Childbirth Crash Course This September 18th-20th!Join us for the next Birth Plan Workshop!Join the newsletter for behind the scenes and episode insights you don't want to miss!Visit MyFriendsaNurse.comGrab this FREE Hospital Bag ChecklistEmail Colette directly for coaching availability and membership [email protected] you are interested in partnering or being a guest on The Birth Link Podcast please email [email protected] Connected:InstagramTikTokFaceBookProduced and edited by Vaden Podcast Services
