136 | One sneaky people pleasing habit in even the most assertive birth plans

People pleasing shows up in birth a LOT. But this one sneaky way of people pleasing also tends to show up even in the most experienced, assertive and unapologetic birth spaces.

In this episode I discuss:
-People pleasing practices in the birth space are what hospitals are used to and staff may be shocked when you are assertive.
-Evidence can be a useful tool in decision making but we don't need to use it to please others.
-Evidence is based in the medical model and not physiology, it's not the end all be all for moms who want unmedicated, physiologic births.
