Summary
Dr. Stu is LA's only OB/Gyn specializing in natural breech, twin and VBAC (Vaginal birth after Cesarean) birth. California law now prevents midwives from providing care for breech and twin deliveries.
In this episode, we will talk about the study 20 years ago that changed it all for women delivering breech in the United States. Dr. Stu covers the different kinds of breech and actual data surrounding breech birth.
From the Head's Up Documentary:
"A breech baby is born nearly every four minutes in the United States. Until the year 2000, a woman could opt to birth her breech baby vaginally or via surgery. Then, in 2001, a study came out that took away one of those options. The study was later found to be faulty, but the damage was already done--vaginal breech birth was almost completely eliminated from medical school training and from delivery rooms."

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Miraculous Momma's podcast. I'm your host Elizabeth Joy. And we're back in |
| 0:12.7 | 20, 22 guys. It's weird because every single year I can never write the date right. You |
| 0:21.3 | know, like when the new year changes, you're always like crap. What's the year? And you're |
| 0:25.8 | writing the last year, but the last two years I have. I think just also because the last two |
| 0:30.9 | years have been such a crap storm that you're ready for the next year to start. Like last |
| 0:37.2 | year I was like, 2021, no prop. And this year I had to write a couple of checks as like |
| 0:41.6 | 2022, no problem. Like, I don't know why some for some reason it's just coming easier. We |
| 0:48.6 | did take the last couple weeks off, enjoyed some really good time with family over the holidays, |
| 0:55.8 | and just Vito and I have been working on some house projects, mostly him working on house projects. |
| 1:03.7 | And we're just trying to soak in some time together as a family. And I am trying to like |
| 1:15.6 | get as much time I guess with Jovi before the new baby arrives. I'm doing a couple months. And |
| 1:21.2 | I feel like this pregnancy has gone really slow. It's gone slowly. And now that there's a couple |
| 1:30.4 | months left, I'm like, holy crap, the next two months are going to fly by just because we have a |
| 1:36.6 | lot going on, not tons going on, but just my birthday's coming up and then Valentine's Day, |
| 1:42.6 | then our anniversary. And then basically I'm doing a couple weeks later. So and we just have a |
| 1:49.0 | lot of things that we want to do around the house before the baby comes. We're trying to, |
| 1:53.2 | we're going to move Jovi into a new room. So I want to get that kind of redone and set up. |
| 2:00.8 | And then we're going to keep the nursery, the nursery, because with our last baby, we didn't find |
| 2:05.1 | out what we were having. So everything's gender neutral in there. It's super cute. The walls are |
| 2:09.7 | kind of a soft green and it has like animals and it's kind of a jungle theme, but like |
| 2:17.8 | not hardcore, but just really simple. So we want to keep that room the nursery since we don't know |
| 2:24.9 | what we're having again. And then I'm going to make her room just a little more girly and |
