## Resource

Where you give birth—and who's in the room with you—can shape your entire experience. In this episode, we help you understand your options and make informed choices that fit your budget, preferences and medical needs. We explain the roles OBs, midwives and doulas can play during birth and pregnancy, break down what you need to know about hospitals, birth centers and home births, and hear from parents about how they made these big decisions and what they wish they'd known. Birth with Babylist brings together trusted experts and parents who’ve lived it to break down what happens before, during, and after birth—without fear-mongering or shaming. Hosted by journalist, author and mom of three Jo Piazza. New episodes every Thursday. Featuring Dr. Sindhu K. Srinivas, MD, MSCE, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, MD, IBCLC (@drjenniferlincoln), Victoria Dean CPM, LM (@refugemidwifery), Mari-Carmen Farmer, CNM, MSN (@parteramaricarmen), Francie Webb, Doula, IBCLC (@go_milkyourself), and Liesel Teen, BSN, RN (find her on YouTube, Instagram, or check out her site, Mommy Labor Nurse.
