Shortly after Ana passed the bar exam, she found out she was pregnant. She was entering her new career as a lawyer and soon found it tough to balance an ambitious career and her new growing family, and the baby hadn’t even arrived yet! After an appointment with a particularly painful cervical check, Ana's water broke while she was shopping at the Apple store. From there, a long and difficult birth process began which included a series of interventions that ultimately led to a birth outcome that she had very adamantly wanted to avoid. Tune in to Ana's story to learn how to identify some key questions to ask to your care providers to make informed decisions along your pregnancy journey.
