The Birth Prep Podcast with Taylor Minaberry

Ep 3 - Becoming Head Girlie in Charge ✨


Listen Later

 

 Who’s really in charge of your birth? You. Not your provider, not hospital policies, not anyone else. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be the HGIC (Head Girlie in Charge) and how to step into that role now—before labor even begins.

What being the HGIC actually looks like (hint: it’s not about being combative)
How to spot red flags in prenatal appointments
How to confidently advocate for yourself (and say NO when needed)
Why finding your “perfect-for-you provider” is non-negotiable
How pregnancy is the training ground for motherhood—the decisions you make now matter!

I’m breaking down practical ways to walk into every prenatal visit with confidence, knowledge, and authority. Plus, I’ll share my top strategies for holding your boundaries, asking the right questions, and knowing when it’s time to fire your provider.

Because when you’re in labor, you don’t want to be fighting for autonomy—you want to be in the zone, doing your thing. And that starts now.
