With Easter and all the focus on new life and fresh starts, I know so many of you are preparing to meet your baby soon. So when I heard from mom saying, I just want to feel prepared, I don't want to feel out of control. I decided to extend this for just a couple more days. You can still get my essential birth for $100 off just $197, plus the belly mapping and breastfeeding guides. It's your step-by-step path to feeling calm,

confident, and empowered. So if you missed it, now's your chance to dive in. Grab it before this

I think that that's something that we just totally do. So when something is

suggested, it can feel like questioning it is kind of disrespectful or you're not supposed to do that

because don't they know best? Why would they recommend something that wouldn't be best for me and my

baby? Let me be really clear that a recommendation and a requirement are not the same thing.

And oftentimes, doctors are

sharing what is kind of their standard protocol, not necessarily something urgent that is
