Is Being “Controlling” in Pregnancy a Bad Thing?

Looking for control during birth

In this episode we will discuss:

  • Why embracing control can be a positive, especially for Black women who are nervous about pregnancy

  • Where the need for control comes from

  • How common worries and fears about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are

  • The importance of having the right birth team and birth place

  • The purpose of birth plans and postpartum plans

  • How to move from worry to action

If you’re a Black woman giving birth in the hospital, I have a course for you! This course will be especially helpful if this episode resonates with you. We have activities to plan your doctor's appointments, your birth, and your early postpartum time.

I am a currently practicing doula- labor, postpartum & childbirth education. If you'd like to hire me or my team, we’re at dcmetromaternity.com.
