We are excited to have our first OB/GYN on the show today, Dr. Nicole Rankins! She is a board certified practicing OB/GYN, a wife, a mom of two, host of The All About Pregnancy & Birth Podcast, and has been serving pregnant women for over 20 years.

Dr. Nicole explains to us the difference between an OB/GYN and a Midwife. She also talks about how we can make sure our OB/GYN is a good fit and stresses the importance of advocating for ourselves throughout the entirety of this episode.

We also went to our Instagram audience for this episode and asked them what myths they wanted Dr. Nicole to bust. She tells us whether or not women with small pelvises have harder births and if losing your mucus plug means you’re going into labor. Dr. Nicole also emphasizes how black women can take back their power in labor & delivery and shares her personal experience with black maternal health.
