    Safer Childbirth with Gina Mundy, Birth Injury Attorney

    Gina Mundy has spent over 23 years as a birth injury attorney, analyzing labor and delivery cases to understand why things go wrong, and how families can prepare before they ever step into a delivery room. She's the author of A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth and host of The Childbirth Attorney Podcast. In this episode, we talk about the patterns Gina sees over and over in birth injury cases, starting with Pitocin and artificial rupture of membranes. Gina walks through what "slow and steady" actually means with an induction, what the drug manufacturer's own guidelines say about dosing, and why breaking the water is rarely the risk-free intervention it's presented as. She also shares what a Cochrane review of 15,000 deliveries found about doulas and outcomes, and why she recommends one to every family she talks to. In this episode, we cover: The pattern behind most birth injury cases, and why spontaneous vaginal births are rarely involvedWhat "slow and steady" means with a Pitocin induction, and what the manufacturer's own guidelines recommendWhy breaking the water is treated as routine, and what it's actually correlated with in her casesHow to tell when you're being pressured into an intervention versus given a real medical indicationWhat the research says about doulas and C-section, operative delivery, and intervention ratesConnect with Gina at https://GinaMundy.com or on Instagram at @ginamundy.

    Conscious Conception with Dr. Laura Brayton

    Dr. Laura Brayton is a holistic chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with more than 20 years of experience helping women optimize fertility, pregnancy, and maternal health through root-cause medicine and holistic lifestyle practices. She's the host of the Well-Adjusted Mama podcast and creator of the documentary Conscious Conception: An Empowered Pregnancy + Birthing Story. In this episode, we talk about what conscious conception actually means and why it starts well before a positive pregnancy test. Dr. Brayton breaks down how the nervous system affects fertility, why stress can signal the body that it isn't safe to conceive, and how epigenetics means both partners' health, not just the mother's, shapes the pregnancy to come. She also gets into the toxin load hiding in everyday products, the gut-fertility connection, and why she has couples do a preconception cleanse together. In this episode, we cover: What conscious conception means, and why it's relevant even if you're years away from tryingHow a stressed, sympathetic nervous system can work against fertility and conceptionWhy 50 percent of baby's genetics and toxin exposure come from the partner, and what that means for preconception prepThe environmental toxins worth addressing first, and where to find better product alternativesHow gut health and food sensitivities tie into hormone balance and fertilityPractical ways to get a reluctant partner on board with preconception changesConnect with Dr. Brayton at https://www.drlaurabrayton.com or on Instagram at @drlaurabrayton.
