Roanna Rosewood, author of the Amazon bestseller Cut, Mended, and Stapled, joins Family Connections to discuss the importance of being an empowered mom-to-be and advocate for your medical care. The mother of three children, Roanna had one needless Cesarean, one Cesarean that saved her life and her baby's, and one natural homebirth. Her experience led Roanna to explore the risks of childbirth in hospitals, the risks of medical intervention, and the need for women to be informed and empowered in their own self-advocacy. Roanna (http://roannarosewood.com/blog/) believes childbirth is a vital experience that leads a woman to greater self-knowledge and awareness--important gifts when you're having a baby!
