An excellent podcast for learning about no/low intervention hospital birth. I don't always agree with Lizzie's take, but I like that the information she shares makes me think deeply about what I want and why I want that for my baby and me.

Description

Welcome to Unapologetically Unmedicated, the podcast for moms who want to be informed, empowered, and educated for birth and beyond. We know that an empowered birth leads to an empowered motherhood, and we know that it takes going against the status quo to get there. We are standing up for our values and we are doing it unapologetically.
