Jen and Bethany explore the powerful role of bedside manner in birth and postpartum care—and how the words spoken to women during labor, delivery, and recovery can leave a lasting impact.

They asked their community: What’s something a medical provider said to you during birth that you’ll never forget? The answers revealed just how deeply words can affect a mother’s birth experience. Some responses were uplifting—but many reflected moments of judgment, dismissal, or emotional pain that still linger.

Through heartfelt listener submissions and personal reflections, Jen and Bethany highlight the importance of compassionate communication, trauma-informed care, and empathy in obstetric settings. This conversation is a powerful reminder that supportive and respectful maternal healthcare is essential for emotional and physical healing.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed during your birth, or want to understand how we can improve maternal health outcomes through better communication, this episode is for you.
