The C-Section Epidemic: What Women Aren’t Being Told About Birth | Dr. Cynthia Dickter

What if everything you’ve been told about pregnancy and birth was rooted in fear—not fact? In this powerful episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, I sit down with leading OB-GYN and humanized birth advocate Dr. Cynthia Dickter, who’s been transforming maternal care across Mexico.

We’re exposing the C-section epidemic, breaking down the impact of obstetric violence, and showing you how to take back control of your pregnancy experience. Whether you're preparing for birth or healing from a past one, this conversation will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and seen.

✨ Expect truth bombs, evidence-based tips, and stories that will shift how you think about birth forever.
