Breaking Down Birth Trauma with Mama Nurse Tina

The Birth Experience with Labor Nurse Mama

This episode, with two nurse mamas, navigates through birth trauma while providing tips to have a more positive birth experience.

Introducing Mama Nurse Tina, mom of four, and a labor and delivery nurse since 2012 having worked as ER nurse before then. Tina started her social media platform as a way to empower women in childbirth education, help them feel knowledgable in their pregnancy and able to advocate for themselves when they bring their brand new baby into the world.

Trish and Tina share their extensive experiences and insights from their careers in nursing, focusing on the importance of communication between healthcare providers and mothers-to-be to minimize birth trauma. They emphasize the power of education, preparation, and the right to advocate for oneself during childbirth.

The conversation also touches on their personal journeys and challenges within the healthcare system and the significant impact of positive patient-provider interactions on childbirth experiences.
