The provider you choose shapes the birth you have, but most families make that decision without ever really knowing who they are choosing or why it matters.

That's why I created Birth Your Way - so you never wonder if you chose the right person.

This week I sat down with Justina Nazario, a homebirth midwife in Fort Collins, CO.

That is why I created Birth Your Way - so you never wonder if you chose the right person.

This week I sat down with Ericka Dalton, a Certified Nurse Midwife at A Woman's Place in Fort Collins, CO.

In this episode:

- Why a 3.4% C-section rate out of 230 births tells you everything about how a practice views birth
- The difference between a provider who sees birth as an illness and one who sees it as a normal part of life
- What prenatal care is actually supposed to feel like and why most people have never experienced it
- How to support yourself through fear prenatally and in the birth room
Everything you need to know about VBAC and why having an aligned provider makes all the difference
- The signs that it might be time to change your provider, even at 36 weeks
- What a successful birth actually looks like according to a midwife who has seen hundreds of them
