Your Most Embarrassing Birth Questions Answered - Part 2

Your Most Embarrassing Birth Questions Answered - Part 2

Author: Liesel Teen January 9, 2023 Duration: 19:16

This week I am back to answer your most embarrassing birth questions, part 2! I had so much fun with last week's episode, I just had to come back and answer more of your questions because we got so many good ones!

Not only are these "Ask Me Anything" style episodes fun, but it's my hope that they are really informational and educational for you as well. We all have questions that we might be a little embarrassed to ask our provider (even I do!), but have no fear, I'm here to unpack it all.

And be sure to tune into next week's episode, where I chat with OBGYN Dr. Nicole Rankins on what it's like to be an OBGYN, doula care, midwifery care, and much more! You definitely don't want to miss this one!
