Hospital birth gets a lot of opinions and not always a lot of nuance. In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln is joined by labor and delivery nurse and educator Jen Hamilton for an honest, funny, and refreshingly transparent conversation about what really happens on labor and delivery. From outdated hospital policies and informed consent to epidurals, unmedicated birth, staffing ratios, doulas, and birth trauma, this is the inside scoop on how to navigate the system while still feeling empowered. If you’re planning a hospital birth and want practical tips, myth-busting clarity, and a reminder that your voice matters, this one’s for you.
