Are you expecting a bundle of joy? While it's an exciting time, there's an aspect of childbirth that many parents-to-be overlook: potential complications during delivery. In this episode, I sit down with Gina Mundy, an attorney with over 20 years of experience specializing in childbirth cases.

Gina shares invaluable insights from her extensive career investigating and analyzing mistakes that occur during labor and delivery. Her unique perspective as both a legal expert and a concerned family member offers a fresh take on preparing for a safer childbirth experience.

Key Insights for Expectant Parents

  • 3. The timing of water breaking: Understand why this moment is crucial for your baby's safety

Gina also discusses her book, “A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth,” which offers a unique approach to childbirth preparation. Unlike traditional pregnancy books, Gina's work focuses on empowering parents with knowledge gleaned from years of legal cases.

Empowering Yourself for a Safer Delivery
