Welcome to Birthing Better Law's: Are You Informed, a roundup of news articles relating to birth, reproductive rights, maternal health, and its intersection with the law. Marlie, a trial lawyer and the principal owner of Liro Willer Law, LLC, has dedicated the majority of her career to medical malpractice, specifically obstetrical negligence but has recently expanded upon advocacy work to support women, mothers, and those who have experienced birth injury or trauma who have been left without legal recourse. These stories and voices deserve to be heard.

Today's episode dives into the concept of a "positive birth", societal pressures to have a perfect birth story, pregnancy courses, and expectations women have for themselves during and after pregnancy. We also share insight into caps on damages and medical malpractice verdicts. The episode wraps up with some light-hearted discussion of The Little Mermaid, live action edition.
