Summary

Listener questions on breech prompted Blyss & Dr. Stu to discuss one of our favorite topics in detail. Vaccine hesitancy is on the rise. Experts still wonder why. We share what we are thankful for as the holidays are just around the corner.

Ever wondered why breech birth is widely feared and misunderstood? We unravel the complexities around breech birth, exploring safety measures, the undeniable significance of informed consent, and the startling risks of epidurals.

We tackle the sensitive issue of drug testing for expectant women and its potential implications. Addressing the escalating trend of drug testing for mothers and their newborns, we issue a warning about the likelihood of false positives leading to discrimination and criminalization. We take a closer look at a recent study on the impact of fentanyl in epidurals on newborns and how this influences the interpretation of drug test results. 

Join us on this enlightening journey as we traverse the labyrinth of childbirth, breech births, and so much more. You won't want to miss this!

Key highlights:

  • Risks of Flu, COVID, and Vaccination
  • Risks and Outcomes of Breech Births
  • ACOG Guidelines for Vaginal Breech Delivery
  • Supporting Breech Deliveries
  • Breech Baby Turning and Birth Options
