40. [WISE WOMAN] WITH GINA MUNDY - CHILDBIRTH ATTORNEY & BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF A PARENTS GUIDE TO A SAFER CHILDBIRTH
Gina Mundy is an attorney that specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes that are made during labor and delivery.
Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored the book "A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth" to help parents prevent these mistakes and have a healthy baby.
Rather than merely getting involved after an unfortunate mistake was made, Gina has taken a proactive approach by getting involved before childbirth.
In this episode we talk about the importance of individualized care, continuity of care, and the crucial key to a safer childbirth: Prepare and educate yourself about the labor experience.
The two most important decisions you will make are who you choose to birth with and where you choose to birth.
Gina's has only ever had a handful of cases that were natural, spontaneous labors and did not involve the drug Pitocin or artificial rupture of membranes (breaking mom's bag of waters).
We hone in on what informed consent really means, how protocols do not always serve the individual woman and are not law. Different providers will have different opinions but ultimately the decision is up to the mother.
It is crucial to interview your providers and doulas and pick the team that shares your vision.
Lastly, we highlight how important it is for someone to document (written, audio, video) on behalf of the mother and baby.
In her capacity as legal counsel, Gina has closely worked with delivery teams whose care has been questioned following adverse outcomes. She has spent thousands of hours meticulously scrutinizing cases, conducting interviews with delivery teams, and thoroughly examining medical records to gain an in-depth understanding of every decision made during labor and delivery.
