81- I’m Not Anti-OB. I’m Pro You.

You’ve heard it before—“Just trust your doctor.”

But what if trusting yourself mattered just as much?

In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to advocate for your birth, especially when your OB has a different plan. Spoiler: being pro-patient choice doesn’t mean you’re anti-doctor—it means you’re pro-you.

We’ll talk about:

• Why many OBs guide with fear instead of facts
• How to spot defensive medicine vs evidence-based care
• What informed consent actually looks like (and what it doesn’t)
• How to tell if your provider respects your autonomy—or just wants compliance

Whether you’re planning a VBAC, a repeat cesarean, or just want to feel more confident speaking up in appointments, this episode will fire you up and remind you: you are the expert on your body.
