50. @drnicolerankins OBGYN On Being Your Best Birthing Advocate
We are excited to have our first OB/GYN on the show today, Dr. Nicole Rankins! She is a board certified practicing OB/GYN, a wife, a mom of two, host of The All About Pregnancy & Birth Podcast, and has been serving pregnant women for over 20 years.
Dr. Nicole explains to us the difference between an OB/GYN and a Midwife. She also talks about how we can make sure our OB/GYN is a good fit and stresses the importance of advocating for ourselves throughout the entirety of this episode.
We also went to our Instagram audience for this episode and asked them what myths they wanted Dr. Nicole to bust. She tells us whether or not women with small pelvises have harder births and if losing your mucus plug means you’re going into labor. Dr. Nicole also emphasizes how black women can take back their power in labor & delivery and shares her personal experience with black maternal health.

The Expecting and Empowered Podcast
We’re Amy and Krystle, sisters, mamas and co-founders of Expecting and Empowered. We built this business because we saw a HUGE gap in information given to women who were pregnant or postpartum. During the incredibly demanding and challenging years of early motherhood, we wanted to create a safe space for women to learn, grow and feel supported.We wholeheartedly believe in serving every woman no matter where they are in their motherhood journey. Through our professional background, real life experiences and mamas in our community, we are opening up the conversation around common issues that women experience during pregnancy and postpartum, sharing birth stories and giving women the knowledge and resources they deserve to put their best foot forward in motherhood.Join Podchaser to...
