Summary

The smartest Bledsoe sis, Ash, is BACK to get into all things midwifery, pregnancy, giving birth, and postpartum care. Ash is an absolute wealth of knowledge and as a certified professional midwife, she isn't giving fraudulently uncredentialed, bad advice like Chanler and I do regularly. Ash tells us all about why a home birth is actually safer for women in many cases than a hospital birth and explains the truly shocking statistic that over thirty percent of babies are delivered by C-section in US hospitals. She gets into pregnancy nutrition advice and explains why it is so critical to stay active and eat mindfully during pregnancy. Finally, she tells us about her scariest moment as a midwife and gives some truly phenomenal advice about how to emotionally grapple with not having a good birth experience. Ash is incredible and we are so happy to have her back on the pod. Can't get enough of Pop Apologists?! Join us on Patreon where we release a brand new, additional episode every Friday!
