A lot of women hit dead ends with their doctors during
pregnancy. They don’t feel heard or taken seriously. They feel like
they can’t stand up to do a doctor and say, “That’s not what I want
for my birth. What are some other options?”
It’s not about getting aggressive. It’s about being
curious!
Lauren Dunaway, PhD in Public Health, got up the courage to
leave her doctor for a midwife midway through her pregnancy. When
she saw how much they cared, she knew that she was in good
hands.
