The Birth Choices podcast uncovers the choices available to you in pregnancy and birth. By showcasing personal stories of birth choices — interviewing women and birthing people about how they chose and experienced their model of care, and speaking with experts in each of these domains, we aim to leave you feeling informed, able to make autonomous decisions, and ultimately confident in your innate ability to birth. https://www.instagram.com/birthchoices_
