34. Empowering Pregnancy & Birth Preparation w/ Dr. Nicole Rankins

Having a baby is a life changing experience in so many ways, and being prepared for being a mother as well as the entire pregnancy journey is so important. As mothers, a part of this preparation is staying aware of the hardships that come with the pregnancy journey, especially if you are a woman of color. Whether that be micro-aggressions in the hospital, lack of compassion from the people around you, or any other unethical treatment you may go through due to being a woman in this society. Pregnancy should be an empowering time of any Mamas life, and in order to make it that way, being mentally and physically prepared for anything will definitely come in handy! Tune into this episode where I talk with Dr. Nicole Rankins as she gives you tips on not only how to be prepared, but how to be empowered in your pregnancy.  Make sure to follow Dr. Rankins in IG : @Drnicolerankins AND check out her website at Drnicolerankins.com Appreciate the podcast?  Want to show your support?  Buy Dr. Amber Thornton a cookie!
