This week, our dear friend Rachel joins us on the pod to discuss interventions in birth and the role they play in the process. In this episode, we cover several interventions (including some that may surprise you), and future episodes will cover more. We are pleased to bring this information to you, to shed light on the disgraceful lack of informed consent in maternity care, and to hopefully play a small role in helping you to make decisions that align with your birth goals. Stay tuned for part 2, which airs next week!
