They emphasize the power of being well-prepared through prenatal education, helping you feel confident and in control as you approach labor and delivery. With real-world case studies on epidurals, postpartum hemorrhage, Cesarean sections, and the use of forceps and vacuum during delivery, they shed light on the complexities and potential conflicts that can arise between what's best for the pregnant person and the baby. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to navigate childbirth with clarity and confidence!
