Today I am speaking with Gina Mundy, an attorney that specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes that are made during labor and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored the book "A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth" to help parents prevent these mistakes and have a healthy baby. Rather than merely getting involved after an unfortunate mistake was made, Gina has taken a proactive approach by getting involved before childbirth.
We talk about:
-writing a book
-use of Pitocin in labor
-choosing the a good OBGYN
-the roll of doulas
-shift changes
-getting equitable care
-taking away fear
