☀️ Summer Series: PART 1 ☀️

What do you do before choosing someone to reno your kitchen? Or cut your hair? You look at the results they have gotten for other clients! We should not be putting more research into our hair than our births. Hair grows back, you are only giving birth a handful of times.

Empowered Moms interview their provider to find one that is in line with their values and wants for birth.

✨Mini-Series: What the Unmedicated Girlie Needs to know about Cesarean ✨ part 1

April is Cesarean Awareness Month — but the truth is, we need to be having this conversation all year long. Why? Because 1 in 3 births in the U.S. end in cesarean… and many of them happen after a mom has already labored unmedicated all the way to 10 cm.

In this episode, we’re talking about a trend I’m seeing more and more:🛑 Cesareans being called during the second stage of labor — during pushing.
You did all the prep. You avoided the epidural. You got to 10 cm. And then… surgery?

Let’s talk about why this is happening — and how to prevent it when it’s not truly necessary.

This episode covers:

✨ The common mistake moms make when planning for unmedicated birth, it's more than pain management

💥 The two most common reasons for second stage cesareans

🧠 Why certain interventions increase the risk of cesarean

💡 The truth about ACOG’s guidelines for when a cesarean is appropriate
