Have you ever felt powerless during a birth experience? In this episode of the Ask Dr. Sterling Podcast, Dr. Sterling and Claire sit down with Gina, a mom who transformed her c-section experience by challenging hospital policy. After two previous c-sections that left her feeling out of control, Gina knew things had to be different the third time around.
Gina opens up about her journey to finding the right OB, how she advocated for a more empowered birth, and the moment she realized that hospital policy was standing in the way of her ideal experience. She walks us through the nerve-wracking process of challenging those rules, how she navigated resistance from the hospital staff, and the incredible feeling of success when her efforts paid off.
Whether you're curious about taking control of your own birth experience or want to know how to advocate for change in a medical setting, Gina’s story is a powerful reminder that your voice matters in the delivery room.
