Before You Say Yes In Labor, Ask These Three Questions
You are deep in labor. Contractions are long, strong, and close together.
You are focused and working hard, and then someone walks in and says it is time to talk about Pitocin, or breaking your water, or maybe a cesarean.
And suddenly you have to make a big decision in the middle of the hardest thing you have ever done.
This episode is exactly what you need before that moment comes.
I am walking you through the three questions that can slow everything down, get you the information you actually need, and help you make decisions from a place of confidence instead of fear no matter what comes up during labor.
Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode:
01:41 – You are deep in labor, completely focused and then someone walks in with a recommendation you were not expecting. Most mamas have no idea what to do in this moment. This is what to do. 👀
04:33 – The thoughts that run through every mama's mind when a big recommendation comes up during labor. If you have ever worried about making the wrong decision under pressure, this part is for you. ❤️
05:19 – Question #1 to ask your provider the moment a recommendation comes up, and the answer you get back will immediately tell you so much more than you were expecting. 👀
08:49 – Question #2 — the one that gets your provider talking about options they were not planning to bring up on their own. This conversation could keep the direction of your labor exactly where you want it. 💪
10:39 – Question #3 — the one that takes a blanket recommendation and makes it specifically about you, your body, and your baby. Most mamas never think to ask this, and it is the most important one of all. 👀
14:37 – A quick recap so these actually stick (plus why your birth partner needs to hear this episode too.)
You do not need to memorize every medical term or know every possible intervention. You just need these three questions and have the confidence to ask them.
Tune in and walk into labor ready to make decisions from a place of knowledge, not fear. If you have follow up questions or feedback on this episode, share with me here: [email protected]!
