Summary

The hospital that you choose for your birth can have a big influence on your experience during your labor and childbirth.

Think about it….you already know how important choosing the right doctor is (check out episode 3), and your doctor will actually only be there for a small part of your labor and delivery. You might see them three or four times total. But the hospital, well, you’ll be there for the entire duration of your labor, delivery, and postpartum stay.

That’s why it’s vital that the hospital where you give birth is the right one for you and your birthing philosophy. But how do you make sure you have the right hospital for you?

You listen to this episode of The All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast and learn what questions to ask to feel confident in your decision of the hospital you choose to give birth.

If you still have questions after listening to this episode, I would love for you to check out my website. There are so many resources for you there! You can access that by clicking here.
