A Childbirth Attorney’s Guide to Safer Birth: Advocacy Without Panic — with GINA MUNDY

Send us Fan MailToday I am speaking with Gina Mundy, an attorney that specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes that are made during labor and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored the book "A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth" to help parents prevent these mistakes and have a healthy baby. Rather than merely getting involved after an unfortunate mistake was made, Gina has taken a proactive approach by getting involved before childbirth.  We talk about: -writing a book -use of Pitocin in labor -choosing the a good OBGYN -the roll of doulas -shift changes -getting equitable care -taking away fear  Time Stamps 1:00 Introduction 3:04 her intentions with writing a book 10:33 Pitocin inductions 15:08 spider sense 18:45 the importance of doulas 23:37 conversations with providers 27:52 disparity in outcomes between different populations 30:18 the c-section 37:40 when something goes wrong 44:20 staying happy 46:00 rapid fire questions  CONNECT WITH CARRIE IG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/ Website: https://carriepagliano.com  CONNECT WITH GINA IG: https://www.instagram.com/ginamundy/ Website: ginamundy.com The Active Mom Podcast — a real mom's guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond, for active moms and the professionals who help them get there.Quick-hit conversations with moms, providers, and researchers... because you don't have a lot of free time (you're probably listening at 1.5x right now).Follow so you don't miss an episode.
