Welcome to the Burling Instincts Podcast.

I'm Dr. Stewart Fishbein, community-based practicing obstetrician and long-time advocate for birth choices.

And I'm Bliss Young, a licensed midwife.

Join us in our conversational style podcast where we talk about everything birth.

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, but we're happy that you're here. So here we go.

Oh my God.

Well, it truly is good morning from here in Utah.

The sun is up and the construction going on to Bach away as loud as ever.

And good afternoon, good evening, and good middle of night and everybody else.

I was thinking that I would talk really fast today.

Like, you know how people put out of their podcast on one and a half speed or two speed?

Because I probably need to talk because I got a lot of data today because we're going to talk about macrosomia.

And I'll get into that minute, but first we have to do our traditional stuff.

Okay. So where are you now? Bring us up to date. And then I'll get into my stuff. And then we'll get into macrosomia.

I'm right on the border of Tennessee and Virginia. I had an elder that I was scheduled for yesterday, but she had to go to a birth.

So I'm kind of in a holding pattern right now until she's ready.

I think when that happens. It happens. And they apologize. And I'm like, are you kidding me?

We're we understand how it is. It's fine. Of course. It's raining here. And I haven't had any rain.

And it's been raining for hours and I looked

around at the math and literally it's only raining here.

Everywhere else around, it's not raining, but it's fine.

It's lovely and I'm near Bristol, which I guess is the home of country music.
