This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we are talking all about your birth team!
And let me put it right out there that I know some of you probably already have a provider at this point, and some of this might not feel relevant. BUT. I still want you to give this episode a listen!
First, we will discuss the different types of providers that can deliver your baby! There are two main “categories” of providers you can choose from for this job – an Obstetrician or a midwife, and both come with their own set of benefits!
Then we’ll differentiate between two other essential birth team members – doulas and labor and delivery nurses (like me!).
