Welcome to Connect the Dots: Truth Bombs! Today I'm talking about how your baby's birth experience can affect their development.

I explain why babies born vaginally get important immune benefits from mom's bacteria and how squeezing through the birth canal helps shape their head properly.

As a mom who had a C-section, I share what I wish I'd known then about birth choices. I also talk about what to do if you need a C-section, forceps, or vacuum during delivery.

I give simple tips for making a birth plan and why having a midwife or doula can be so helpful. Remember, being pregnant is natural, not a disease!

This quick 5-minute video might completely change how you think about giving birth.
