Ep 216: Bias in the Birth Room

Author: HeHe Stewart July 12, 2023 Duration: 22:53
The truth is-- unbiased care does not exist. If everyone from your doctor to your mom to the stranger in the super market has biases, what are you supposed to do? Plus, do those biases increase your risk of experiencing birth trauma? This episode will tell you exactly why it's important to be able to spot bias and what to do with it if you encounter provider bias that is impacting your care. I also share tips to reducing your risk of birth trauma.   Questions to ask your provider: https://www.thebirthlounge.com/Interviewing-Providers   The Birth Lounge: https://www.thebirthlounge.com/   Work with me: https://www.tranquilitybyhehe.com/
