No one expects medical manipulation to happen during birth, but what are you supposed to do if you find yourself feeling manipulated during or after birth? How can we protect ourselves against being manipulated by the medical system? Today’s guest, Olivia Friel, is a fellow doula and one of my closest birthy friend! She and I are sharing about confidently navigating conversations with your doctor. I share the biggest place I see medical manipulation happen in the labor rooms. Olivia dives into finding the right provider and exactly how to speak up for your goals.
