The Importance of Choosing the Right Provider for the Birth YOU Want
The best advice I can give for having the birth you want is to choose a provider that aligns with your birth goals. I could end it right here, really. When you choose a provider that aligns with your birth preferences, you don’t have to spend as much time advocating for yourself and your birth. It’s not impossible to have the birth you want with a provider whose ideals don’t align, but it is an uphill battle.
TL;DR - Choose your provider carefully.
