We are mamas and birth workers who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are kind, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit. With 12 children and 20 years of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.

In this episode of Taking Back Birth, I take a close look at prenatal care.

Here are just a few of the things I discuss…

  • What really IS prenatal care? It’s got to be about more than charts and numbers… and it is!
  • Why looking for prenatal care from the wrong sources can affect your birth experience.
  • How your best friend or partner could become a valuable part of your prenatal care.
  • How becoming self-sufficient could be the best thing you ever do for your birth.
