Are You “Birthing By Committee”?

Are You Birthing by Committee?
Samantha Griffin

When you're planning your birth, your postpartum period and how you're going to raise your baby, it can be tempting to get as many opinions possible to be sure you're doing the "right thing". I call this birthing by committee. I don't recommend it.

Listen to today's podcast to hear:

  • what birthing by committee looks like

  • how letting too many people weigh in can impact your birth

  • tips for how to determine who should be in your birth room

If you want more alternative ways to make decisions that help you trust yourself, and you're a Black woman giving birth in the hospital, I have a course for you!

I am a currently practicing doula- labor, postpartum & childbirth education. If you'd like to hire me or my team, we’re at dcmetromaternity.com.
