An intervention involves medical interruption or action taken by your medical team that intervenes with your birth process.
In today's episode, we chat about the types of medical interventions used during your labor.
I will cover quite a few, but I want to point out the top 5 that many mamas have no idea are interventions and are causing many women to end up with what we refer to as the "cascade of interventions".
