EP 149 Ensuring a Safe Childbirth: Expert Legal Insights with Gina Mundy

Postpartum University® Podcast

Conversations around birth injury, trauma, and loss are no doubt challenging. But they're also so very important.

In this episode, I'm joined by birth injury lawyer and author of A Parent's Guide to Safer Childbirth, Gina Mundy.

She shares candidly how she's experienced how mistakes in the birth setting impact lives forever. And she's proactively working to educate parents about how they can keep themselves and their families safe.

In this episode, we're sharing:

• The risk factors that contribute to the cases Gina represents, including the cascade of interventions caused by Pitocin inductions.
• How parents can advocate for themselves in the birth room.
• What steps can be taken to ensure a safe childbirth experience including the importance of assembling your team of providers.

Though this topic may be triggering, our objective here is not to scare you but rather to bring attention to the rise in birth injury and loss and how providers and parents can make a difference in outcomes.
