Summary

The normalization of breech and twin birthing and the skills to make that happen were the reason the birth community came together in Louisville, KY for four days in September. Blyss & Dr. Stu share the stories and memories from a weekend of learning and bonding. We are stronger as a community united.

You'll discover how the positioning of a baby's arms affects their rotation during breech birth, and the essential factors to monitor during delivery - the color, tone, capillary filling, and cord of the baby. Blyss and Dr. Stu discuss the intricacies of twin pregnancies and the complications that may arise, including twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). They also cover the importance of understanding when to intervene. Despite the often challenging and complex nature of these discussions, the underlying message is one of empowerment, education, and encouragement. So join in as we navigate these fascinating topics, challenge conventional wisdom, and celebrate the miracle of birth.

Key highlights:

Obstetric Training and Flexible Delivery Methods
Breech Babies and Shocking Numerical Findings
Doctor Issues With Twin Birthing
Pregnancy Complications and Ultrasound Technology
Historical Significance of Fetal Heart Tones
Burden of Proof in Medical Interventions
Shoulder Dystocia During Childbirth
