Made For Birth; The VBAC Podcast For Birth After Cesarean

52- Planned vs. Pressured: Do Mothers Really Have a Choice?


Listen Later

Are cesareans always necessary? Or are moms being pushed into surgery without true informed consent?

Too often, hospital policies and defensive medicine dictate birth more than the mother’s individual needs. Many moms don’t fully understand what a cesarean means for their body, recovery, and future births—until it’s already happening.

In this episode, we’re breaking it down:
⚡️ Why cesarean rates are rising—and what that means for moms.
⚡️ How hospital policies shape birth more than medical necessity.
⚡️ The pressure to “just schedule a cesarean” and what moms aren’t being told.
⚡️ What true informed consent should look like (and what to do if you’re not getting it).
⚡️ Steps to take if you feel coerced into an unnecessary cesarean.

Moms deserve better. Autonomy matters. Let’s talk about it.
