How to Have the Hospital Birth You Actually Want

This one is such an important episode.
I’m talking to Sheva Mintz, a labor and delivery nurse at a high-risk hospital in Florida, mama of three, and someone who is deeply passionate about helping women walk into birth feeling educated, calm, and empowered. She believes in movement, breath, trusting the female body, and also in the value of medical support when it’s actually needed.
If you’re planning a hospital birth and you want to feel informed instead of steamrolled, this one’s for you.
We get into what advocacy really looks like in the delivery room, how to ask better questions before saying yes to interventions, what fetal monitoring is actually telling you, and why preparing for birth is about way more than just packing a hospital bag.
In this episode, we talk about:
* what advocacy in the hospital actually looks like
* the difference between informed consent and just going along with whatever is offered
* what to ask before interventions like breaking your water
* what fetal monitoring, decels, and positioning really mean
* how to choose a provider who aligns with the kind of birth you want
* why hospital birth does not have to mean giving your power away
And a reminder... I’m also doing a free webinar on Sunday, June 7th all about how to prepare your body for birth. The details are linked here, and I would absolutely love to see you there.
If you’re pregnant, planning to be, or know someone who is, send this one to her.
