#332 Influenza & Pregnancy, Data vs. Dogma

Autumn is here and beside the display of nature's splendor comes the inevitable cold and flu season with all it's precautions and warnings. Blyss & Dr. Stu refuse to blindly accept the standard recommendations offered by organized medicine. Together they dive into what is known about influenza in pregnancy and share their wisdom and typically strong opinions.

In this episode, Dr. Stu and Blyss explore the power of advocacy during pregnancy and birth. They explore the pros and cons of the RhoGAM shot during pregnancy, discuss intermittent fetal monitoring during labor, and the topic of delaying the standard shot of Pitocin after delivery. This chat is punctuated by a journey back in time to the complex history of midwifery and medicine, the shift from apprenticeship to professional schooling, and the upcoming challenges if this trend continues.

Key highlights:

  • Influenza in Pregnancy
  • Empowering Advocacy in Pregnancy and Birth
  • Apprenticeship in Midwifery and Medicine
  • Vaccination and COVID-19 During Pregnancy
  • Risks of Flu Vaccination in Pregnancy
  • Controversy Surrounding Vaccinations in Pregnancy
