Your mom means well, she really does... But she also gave birth in an era when "husband stitch" was standard practice, episiotomies were routine, and "just do what the doctor says" was the only birth plan anyone had.
The landscape of labor and delivery has changed enormously. What hasn't changed is how much a prepared, informed patient gets a fundamentally different experience than one who isn't. The questions you know to ask, the interventions you know you can decline, the language you need to advocate for yourself in a hospital room at 4am when you're exhausted and someone in scrubs is moving fast - none of that comes automatically.
And it doesn't come from a birth story that's 30 years old.
This is exactly why I created my semi-private childbirth preparation class. Two couples, an intimate and private setting, and real, current information about what your rights are, what you can ask for, what you should push back on, and what the evidence actually says about routine interventions.
We cover:
🤰what a birth plan should actually include and how to use it effectively
🤰the questions that change outcomes
🤰what informed consent really means when you're in active labor
🤰how to make sure your support person knows how to advocate for you when you can't advocate for yourself
Your birth deserves a current, honest, informed foundation. Not a hand-me-down one.
Spots are limited to two couples per class by design. Link in bio to learn more and reserve your spot ➡️ Jenkintown Acupuncture & Women's Wellness | drdebdavies.com
