Foundations for the Childbearing Years
Ep. 9: You Are the Boss of Your Pregnancy
It’s easy to assume that doctors, midwives, or “the experts” know best when it comes to pregnancy — but the truth is, you are the one responsible for your body and your baby. In this episode, we’ll talk about what it looks like to be the boss of your pregnancy: how to advocate for yourself in the medical system, some basics on how to interview and hire the right provider, and why you don’t have to hand over your autonomy just because something is “policy.” You’ll also hear practical examples — like choosing alternatives to common tests — and biblical encouragement for leading with wisdom and confidence in this season.
