#358 Homebirth Safety: What to Believe?

#358 Homebirth Safety: What to Believe?

The two authors who despise home birth are at it again with a new pre-print on the "Enduring Safety Concerns" of community birthing. Does their evidence hold water? The disconnect of priorities by organized medicine continues. Dr. Stu is joined by guest co-host Lindsey Meehleis, to break down the data.

Together, Dr. Stu and Lindsey dissect this paper that scrutinizes the safety of out-of-hospital births, and discuss the complexities surrounding breech births, twin pregnancies, and the sacred moments of life and death, advocating for the wisdom of traditional midwifery in today's polarized birth setting debates.

They take a closer look at the ACOG's rigid stance on planned home birth risks, untangling the often-misleading statistics that shape many women's choices about their birth setting.

California no longer tracks stillbirths! What? We send blessings to and burn a candle for Blyss who had hip replacement surgery today.

Key highlights:

  • Holistic Home Birth
  • Fetal Death Reporting Controversy
  • Debate on Planned Home Birth Safety
  • Challenges in Traditional Midwifery Training
  • Home Birth Studies
