S3E79 | Were You Pushed into a C-Section?

Описание: So many women walk into the hospital planning one kind of birth… and leave with a C-section they never expected. Why does that keep happening?

In this episode, we kick off our childbirth series by talking honestly about C-sections—why they’re necessary in some cases, why they may be overused in others, and what most people aren’t told before decisions are made. This isn’t about judging choices. It’s about asking better questions, understanding your options, and advocating for yourself when it matters most.

Are C-sections always about safety—or sometimes about speed, control, and convenience?

If you’re pregnant, planning, or just curious about how birth really works, this one’s a must-listen.
