Summary
Birth isn’t predictable. As much as you prepare, there may be some surprises along the way. In this episode, we walk through what it looks like when labor needs medical support. From inductions and Pitocin to C-sections and assisted deliveries, we’ll cover what’s involved and how those decisions unfold in real time. This episode is about making those interventions feel less mysterious and a little easier to understand—so you can feel informed and confident in whatever path your birth takes. 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 Molly Lepic, DO, Florencia Segura, MD, Sindhu K. Srinivas, MD and Laura Hanks, MD (@drhanks_at_ur_cervix).
