Summary

While it's not yellow brick, Dr. Stu is on the road teaching breech and twins and renewing family ties in California. Blyss joins in to share stories and wisdom and sanity, as usual.

Echoing the dedication of mothers and birth workers, we dive into stories that underscore the triumphs of natural birth, like a listener's VBAC victory over early induction using natural remedies—proof that self-advocacy can indeed rewrite the standard medical narrative. These stories aren't just about births; they're about the struggle for autonomy and the challenging journey of advocacy within a system that sometimes seems set up for our silence.

This episode is a blend of education, empowerment, and the drive for a maternity care system that honors the sanctity and individuality of the birthing process. Join us as we celebrate the power of informed decision-making, the legacy of childbirth, and the enduring spirit of woman-centered care.

Key highlights:

  • Natural Birth Advocacy and VBAC Success
  • Challenges With Breech Delivery Options
  • Regulatory Challenges in Midwifery and Healthcare
  • Midwives vs Medical Standardization
  • Questioning Medical Fear-Mongering
  • Maternity Care and Obstetrician Education
