Labor & Delivery Nurse Drops 5 Controversial Truths About Birth You’ve Gotta Hear!

Are we doing birth all wrong??

In this video, I’m sharing my most controversial birth opinions as a labor and delivery nurse — and trust me, some of these might challenge what you’ve always been told or what you have learned during your birth prep.

Can you eat during labor? Is slow progressing labor always a bad thing? We’re diving deep into the real conversations often left out of mainstream prenatal education classes- and I have some great birth tips in here for you too!

I break down what no one tells you about fetal monitoring — including intermittent vs continuous monitoring — and explain how obstetric policies can impact your labor rights and birth autonomy more than you realize. We’ll also talk about why pelvic floor physiotherapy postpartum and lactation support (with an IBCLC) after birth should be standard care — not privileges.

Whether you’re a parent-to-be or just want real labor advice and informed birth choices, this video will give you a fresh, honest look at some of the most debated topics in maternity care — from epidural diet rules to outdated cesarean recommendations, common childbirth myths, and even how we talk about birth trauma support ♥️
