Fear vs. Facts: How to Navigate Birth Advice Without the Overwhelm

Social media is flooded with birth advice—some empowering, some fear-mongering. How do you separate facts from fear? How do you stay informed without feeling like you’re drowning in worst-case scenarios?

Key Points:

• Fear-Based Content vs. Evidence-Based Guidance: How to recognize when a post is meant to scare you rather than empower you.

• Knowing When to Log Off: If birth advice makes you anxious instead of informed, it's time for a break.

• Building a Support System You Can Trust: Surround yourself with birth workers and doulas who uplift and educate rather than stress you out.

Your intuition matters. You don’t need to be an expert in everything—you just need to trust yourself and surround yourself with support that empowers, not overwhelms.
