In today's episode, three current and former L&D nurses join us in a roundtable-style conversation to share their behind-the-scenes experiences on the L&D floor. These three women get raw, real, and honest about what pulled them to this line of work and for one, what forced her to leave. They share their experiences and that of the women they serve on how birthing mothers are manipulated, coerced, and betrayed by their providers and the system. You'll hear astonishing quotes such as "Well that's what she gets for refusing Pitocin yesterday," when a mother ends up with an unexpected cesarean birth, and you'll hear answers to our questions:

• Why did  you choose to become an L&D nurse? 
• In your mind, who do you work for? 
• Why do OBs get so upset when they "miss" the delivery?
• What do you think is driving unnecessary cesarean sections? 
• What is the most outrageous thing you've heard a provider say to a woman?

In the end, you'll gain insight into the culture of hospital-based birth and learn ways to best support your birth goals when having a baby at the hospital.
