Ep. 113 - Taking Back Control of Your Pregnancy with Evidence-Based Approaches
with Rebecca Dekker
Welcome to episode 113
Too often, pregnancy and birth are shrouded in fear, misinformation, and outdated practices not supported by research.

By challenging outdated assumptions and accessing the latest, most reliable research, families can make informed decisions that honor their unique needs and preferences.
