<p>Reclaim your autonomy in the delivery room. You have the right to say NO in your birth!</p><p>In this episode, Trish discusses the critical importance of maintaining autonomy during pregnancy and birth. </p><p>She challenges the societal norm where strong, capable, pregnant women defer to healthcare authorities without question, emphasizing the need for women to be informed, ask questions, and confidently make decisions about their birth experience. </p><p>She underscores the importance of practicing autonomy during prenatal appointments to build confidence for labor and delivery. </p><p>Trish highlights the benefits of her online birth classes, designed to empower expecting mothers by providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate labor confidently. </p><p>“ I am so passionate about changing this birth culture, not just for you guys, but for my own daughters, for my daughter-in-laws, because I don't want you guys to go through what I had happened to me and what I've seen thousands of women go through - we can't do this anymore. We have to stand up and bring that power into the birth room.” - Trish</p><p>Tune in for tips on how to advocate for yourself and transform your birth story into a powerful, positive birth experience.</p><p><strong>More from this episode:</strong></p><p>Listen to Episode 19: <a href="https://labornursemama.com/podcast/traci-doula/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your Pregnancy Rights: What if Your Provider says "Don't Let" or "You Can't?""</a></p><p>Listen to Episode 156: <a href="https://labornursemama.com/podcast/birth-fears-and-how-to-feel-confident/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Birth Fears: Why You Feel Anxious and How to Feel Confident Instead</a></p><p>00:21 Autonomy During Pregnancy</p><p>01:46 The Importance of Advocating for Yourself</p><p>03:41 Building Autonomy Throughout Pregnancy</p><p>04:33 Empowerment Through Education and Support</p><p>07:47 Resources</p><p><strong>Resources: </strong></p><p><a href="https://labornursemama.com/one-secret" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">First Trimester Secret Podcast</a></p><p>🎙<strong> FREE Birth Workshop: 3 Secrets to a Confident Birth! </strong>🎙</p><p>Want to feel prepared and in control? <a href="https://learn.labornursemama.com/3-secrets" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch my free workshop now!</a></p><p><strong>Connect w/ Trish:</strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/labor.nurse.mama/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/labor.nurse.mama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LaborNurseMama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/LaborNursemama/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Pinterest </a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@labor.nurse.mama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On TikTok</a></p><p>For more pregnancy & birth education, subscribe to The Birth Experience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.</p><p><a href="https://vadenpodcastservices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Produced and Edited by Vaden Podcast Services</strong></a></p><h2>Next Steps with LNM:</h2><p>If you are ready to invest in your pregnancy & postpartum journey, you are in the right place.
