Today,  Cynthia and Trisha talk about the words, behaviors, and "recommendations" that concern us most around third trimester pregnancy topics such as: elective inductions, big babies, due dates, failure to progress, and vaginal exams.  How your provider thinks about, discusses and manages these topics tells you a lot about whether or not your birth goals will be supported.  We are here to give you our best knowledge and advice on when and how to know if your provider is right for you!
