In this episode, I’m diving into the importance of thoroughly researching and interviewing your chosen place of birth. Many women assume that midwife-led units or hospitals will automatically align with their birth preferences, but policies and practices can vary widely.
I’ll be sharing:
✔️ Why hospitals and MLUs don’t always provide the experience you expect.
✔️ The key questions you MUST ask before choosing a birth location.
✔️ How to spot red flags that indicate your birth preferences may not be honoured.
✔️ Tips for advocating for yourself and ensuring your chosen setting supports your vision.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why making an informed choice about where you give birth is crucial to having an empowered experience.
