If you were to describe your ideal birth, I’m guessing that you would describe your care as centered and individualized for you and your family’s needs. Many of you would probably talk about trauma informed care, and more than anything I think everyone wants a safe birth. You probably wouldn’t describe being treated like a new car on an assembly line but did you know that the US hospital system follows procedures outlined by Toyota to streamline your experience? 
On today’s episode of Yoga| Birth| Babies I speak with board certified labor nurse Mandy Irby about how to create a safe, patient centered, and trauma informed birth. Mandy offers incredible tactics that you can walk away from this episode with. She describes ways that you can advocate for yourself and she highlights the systemic issues of the current birth culture. She explains what individualized care is and how you can create that standard of care for yourself within a hospital.
If you are pregnant or just had a baby and this is something that resonates with you I highly recommend listening to this episode. It’s going to give you a way to support yourself or your team to support you, to advocate for yourself, and to make sure that the team that you’ve chosen really sees you and shows up for you. I’m excited for you to hear this conversation with Mandy!
