A common instinct in pregnancy and birth is to trust anything our provider says we should do, with little extra thought. However, while there are MANY trustworthy providers, not all advice or practice is evidence-based — which is why it’s important to be educated and comfortable advocating for yourself in order to have the pregnancy and birth experience you desire (and deserve!).
Our guest today, Dr. Rebecca Dekker — PhD Nurse, Founder/CEO of Evidence Based Birth®, and author — shares red flags to look for in your provider as well as common scenarios in which you may need to advocate for your care. Some of these scenarios include cervical checks, membrane sweeps, eating during labor, and elective inductions. Dr. Dekker also provides a helpful “script” you can use to ensure the advice you receive is evidence-based. I can’t wait for you to listen!
