Choosing your birth provider isn’t just about finding someone kind or faith-aligned. It’s about finding someone who will truly support your birth goals when it matters most. In this episode, I share the red flags that might indicate your provider isn’t on the same page about your vision for a natural or low-intervention birth, and the green flags that signal you’re in good hands.

We’ll talk about subtle (and not-so-subtle) language cues to watch for and how to discern if kindness is masking a lack of alignment with your preferences. You’ll also learn the kinds of affirming statements, thoughtful questions, and proactive conversations that point to a truly supportive provider.

I hope this episode will give you the confidence to evaluate your current care team and the courage to make a switch if you need to.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why kindness doesn’t always equal birth-plan alignment
• Common red flag phrases and behaviors from providers
• The importance of asking direct questions about your preferences
• How to recognize providers who are genuinely supportive
• Why it’s never too late to change providers
