Too many mamas walk into Labor & Delivery unprepared, unheard, and left with trauma instead of joy. As an OBGYN, I’ve seen how the right knowledge can change everything. That’s why I created this 38-minute compilation: my most important advice to help you protect your health, prepare for the unexpected, and experience a birth where you feel seen, heard, and respected.


Inside, you'll learn

  • How to choose the right OB provider for YOU
  • Labor toolkits & frameworks every mama should know
  • The truth about spontaneous labor vs. labor inductions
  • When to come to the hospital in labor
  • How to make your birth plan actually work for you
  • Pain management & movement in labor
  • Eating during labor—what no one tells you
  • Fetal monitoring & when it matters most
  • Breaking your bag of water: benefits & risks
  • Pushing, vaginal tears, and what you can do to prepare
  • Keeping your placenta & making informed choices


This video blends real Black Birth Stories with the medical expertise you deserve. It’s not just about pregnancy—it’s about maternal health, pregnancy advocacy, doulas, birth plans, pain control, and community support. Whether you’re preparing for childbirth, facing pregnancy challenges, or seeking better support systems, this guide helps you navigate healthcare providers, disparities in Black maternal health, and the choices that protect you and your baby.
