#320 The Ripples are Spreading

Dr. Stu had eye surgery, again, this week and celebrated his birthday by recording with the Whimsical Blyss. So with little prep time, we gratefully explore the knowledge of our beloved fellow travelers in letters you have written to us.

Through your letters, we've gained valuable insight into your experiences and queries, and together, we tackle them head-on. We explore hot topics in the birthing world, such as breech birth, twin birth, low platelets, and more. These discussions highlight the necessity of informed consent, the power of asking questions when certain decisions don't sit well with you, and the importance of trusting your instincts. So, if you’re pregnant, contemplating pregnancy, or just interested in the birthing world, this episode is rich with insights that challenge conventional wisdom and inspire informed decision-making.

Key highlights:

• Birthday Celebrations and Listener Letters
• Breech Birth and Vaginal Delivery Options
• Midwifery Care for Mono-Di Twins
• Challenges and Controversies of Hospital Birth
• Hospital Births and Platelet Monitoring Debate
• Positive Hospital Experiences
