Can You Say No to Your Doctor During Pregnancy?
You leave your prenatal appointment and get in your car. And something doesn't feel quite right.
You are confused. Unsettled. Maybe a little worried about your body or your baby.
And you spend the whole drive home trying to figure out what just happened and what you are supposed to do about it.
This episode is for that moment. (Oh, and this one is only about 15 minutes. No excuse not to listen before your next appointment. 😊)
Whether it is an induction conversation that caught you off guard, a recommendation that doesn't quite feel right, or a provider you are just not sure about anymore, I'm walking you through exactly what to do when you disagree with your provider and how to come out the other side feeling like you are back on top of your birth choices!!
Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode:
02:05 – The scenarios that catch pregnant mamas the most off guard. From induction conversations to big baby warnings to an ultrasound reading that sends you straight to Google in full panic mode. If any of these have happened to you, you are not alone.
05:57 – The questions that get you the information you actually need. Simple, easy, and super helpful!
07:01 – The most common reaction mamas have in these moments, and why nodding and smiling and leaving the appointment feeling terrible is something I have been guilty of too. I promise you are not alone on this one.
08:20 – So you asked the questions and you still disagree. Now what? Three options that actually help...and how to figure out which one is right for your situation.
11:46 – What you are really looking for in a provider is someone who is supporting you. How to know if you have that, what to do if you do not, and why setting this up early makes everything about labor so much easier.
You know your body. You know your baby. And you deserve to walk into (and out of) every prenatal appointment feeling supported, informed, and on the same page with your provider.
