Description

After you have your baby you may be transferred to another unit (every hospital calls it it's own name) and today we're talking about how to get the MOST out of your care in that spot.

Today's guest is Kara the Baby Nurse. Kara has been a registered nurse for 4 years and works in mother baby at a large hospital. She is also a mom to 2 (soon to be 3!) and the TikToker of @karathebabynurse. She lives in Tennessee with her husband, Myles. Her biggest goal as a nurse is for moms to feel confident to speak up for their needs and be educated about birth so they can advocate for the birth they want!
