Summary

After a family weekend, Dr. Stu drives up to Santa Barbara for an in-person visit with Blyss. We catch up on smiles and laughter before exploring the sadness that is early pregnancy loss and what you should know.

We explore the profound impact this unfortunate event has on women, and discuss the power of language in shaping perspectives and fostering empowerment.

We cover critical topics such as the safety of Tamiflu for expecting mothers, and we also grapple with the concept of "common good" in a world where personal freedoms are frequently challenged. Together, we break down the barriers of the healthcare system, shedding light on the importance of aligning birth preferences with the right medical partner.

We later delve into the sensitive topic of early pregnancy loss. Amid the hard-hitting realities, we remind ourselves of the importance of presenting women with choices, promoting honesty in healthcare, and advocating against unnecessary interventions. Guiding you through this complex maze, our aim is to leave you feeling informed, empowered, and most importantly, heard.

Key highlights:

Early Pregnancy Loss
Tamiflu, Coercion, and Medical Concerns
Prenatal Care and Hospital Options
Ectopic Pregnancy and Management Options
Women's Choices in Miscarriage Management
