đ¨ Debunking Hospital Birth Myths! đ¨
There are so many myths about what hospitals canât do during birthâbut hereâs the truth: You have options! At A Womanâs Place, we believe in empowering you to make the best choices for your birth experience, no matter where it takes place.
đš Myth 1: âYou have to lay on your back during labor.â
â False! You can move, change positions, and labor in a way that feels best for you. Hospitals often donât explain the range of positions you can try, but you are in control.
đš Myth 2: âYou canât eat or drink during labor.â
â Not true! Many hospitals tell women they canât eat, but in reality, itâs often allowed, especially in low-risk pregnancies. You deserve to stay nourished and hydrated!
đš Myth 3: âYou must have an IV or continuous fetal monitoring.â
â False! While some interventions are standard, you have the right to decline certain procedures or opt for alternatives like intermittent monitoring and freedom to move.
đš Myth 4: âYou canât have a natural birth in a hospital.â
â Not true! Many hospitals have options for natural birth, and with the right team of supportive professionals, you can have the birth you wantâno matter where it happens.
At A Womanâs Place, weâre here to support you with evidence-based care, no matter where you choose to birth. Know your optionsâand make the birth plan thatâs right for YOU.
