-
- Self-Improvement
Birth is one of the most sacred and important experiences in a mother’s life and every woman has the right to true informed consent and refusal in the birthing process. Too often women are not given all their options with unbiased information but are instead coerced into decisions that benefit the doctor’s convenience, our broken medical system, and their pockets.
Dr Stuart Fischbein, a rare gem in the world of physicians. packs this episode with information on making informed choices and ensuring bodily autonomy in the birthing process. He’s a practicing obstetrician since 1986 who supports VBAC and specializes in community based natural breech & twin birthing and is a strong believer in the midwifery model of care. He travels around the country and internationally teaching the disappearing art of breech delivery and his podcast, Birthing Instincts, is helping women all over the world reclaim their power in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
This episode covers:
Dr. Stu’s story from being a practicing OBGYN in the hospital to assisting midwives at home with breech and twin deliveries
Problems with our standard medical birthing model
The cascade of interventions that happen in a hospital setting
The prevalence of personal bias in scientific papers and poorly controlled research
Red flags when choosing a practitioner
Birth as a medical problem versus a normal natural function of the human female body
VBAC safety vs risk
Vaginal breech and Twin delivery
The rise in cesarean deliveries
And so much more
