Summary

Question: How do obstetricians do in 10 minutes what midwives do in an hour? Answer: They don't! Blyss and Dr. Stu discuss the differences in models and share what a midwife prenatal visit looks like. 

We unpack the intricate layers of birthing options, from the empowering choice of vaginal breech delivery to the complex dance between a midwife's guidance and the birthing individual's instinct. Together, we navigate the challenging terrain of advocating for personal birth plans amidst the machinery of hospital protocols, and celebrate the strength of those who pursue supportive birthing environments with midwives. 

ACOG is at it again and some doctors and moms are going rogue. The courage to question the status quo in medicine leads us to fresh perspectives on patient care, education, and the pursuit of alternatives that may redefine the future of reproductive health. 

Dr. Stu is on the road again teaching breech and twin skills while Blyss is home waiting on babies.

Key highlights:

  • HPV Vaccination Controversy and Alternative Approaches
  • Pregnancy Symptoms, Supplements, Postpartum Plan
  • Prenatal Visits and Midwifery Practices
  • Managing a Transverse Lie in Labor
  • Arm Presentation and Cesarean Section Risk
