I've been a mess for a couple of years now, and I don't think you understand.

So I'm just holding on by it spread.

Clearly, this is a woman at the end of her rope.

Her baby's 22 months, and the nursing is driving her crazy.

It's time to wean.

Like, the last thing he needs to be doing is telling her that she's doing the wrong thing

and that he's going to betray her by calling the cops. My question is, what do I say to people when they ask where I am, quote, unquote, delivering? For some context, I work in a hospital in surgery in a major city. So it doesn't have to be so black and white as people make it out to be. Like, you don't believe in birthing in a hospital?

Who said that? That's very true. Thank God for the hospital. Yes, I believe in hospital birth, but not as a first choice. I, Cynthia, and Tricia, it's Nancy. Birth works. There wouldn't be billions of people here if it didn't. So why do doctors assume that the placenta will be in the wrong place rather than affirm that it will be fine, as it will be in almost every situation?

I'm Cynthia Overgard, birth educator, advocate for informed consent, and postpartum support specialist.

And I'm Trescia Ludwig, certified nurse midwife and international board-certified lactation consultant.

And this is the Down to Birth Show.

Childbirth is something we're made to do, but how do we have our safest and most satisfying experience in today's medical culture?

Let's dispel the myths and get down to birth.

Happy November.

Happy end of November.

Yeah, almost December.

Here we go.

Here we go. Here we go.

So, what is on the agenda for our opener today?

I know you're up to something and you're smiling and smirking, so what is it?

Okay.

Well, first of all, we're going to debut the readers.
