056 Birth Bit- Informed Consent. Are you being FULLY informed before you give consent?

Sometimes we do short episodes like this called "Birth Bits" or "Breastfeeding Bits." Today's episode is about Informed Consent. This is a hot topic in the healthcare world, but ESPECIALLY in labor and delivery. There are so many decisions for you to make while you're in labor and it is important that you have all the information you need to make a wise choice for you and your baby. Informed consent is foundational for a smooth labor and delivery experience in the hospital setting.
