About this episode
I’m excited to join Mariela on New Mom Talk to shine a light on something every expectant parent should know: the C-section rates at your local hospitals—and what those numbers mean for your own birth plan. Together, we unpack how to find this data, interpret the stats, and use that knowledge to make empowered choices for your birthing experience. In our conversation, I dive into the factors that influence C-section rates—everything from hospital protocols to individual care philosophies—and explain why staying informed is one of the best ways to advocate for yourself in the delivery room.
