Can you do informed, like true informed consent when you're pushing and you're unmedicated and all of a sudden your baby's heart tones are down and I'm talking to you about a vacuum birth? It's so much easier to do it well before that and to talk about the, hey, this could happen. Here's what's going on. And it's why in my book, I include checklists of
things to ask about your doctor, your midwife. If you're thinking about a home birth, what to ask that midwife, what's available at your hospital. And then I also include a birth plan.

You're going to be able to ask questions and there's less likely
that you're going to be traumatized. Hello, hello, Dr. Mona here and welcome back to the Pete's DocTalk podcast. Before we dive in, thank you for being here week after week. This show grows because you keep showing up for it and I do not take that for granted. And we have our Wednesday episodes, which you're listening to right now, or maybe you're listening to it on another day.
