YOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY - Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding Help

Show Notes:

Today's show is part two of a follow up interview with Dr. Stuart Fischbein. I brought him back on to talk about vaginal breech birth and how it came to be the normal policy to deliver all breech babies by c-section. As usual, the conversation with him is full and rich and covers so much more than just breech. In this second section of our interview you will learn about:

• Are third trimester ultrasounds needed?
• What does it mean to err on the side of caution?
• What is the impact of worry on pregnancy?
• What is "high risk" and what does it mean?
• Qui bono - who benefits?
• Do hospitals have your best interests at heart?
• Off label medicine use
• Who is a good candidate for vaginal breech birth?
• What is an external cephalic version (ECV) and is it a good option?
• Risk of VBAC vs placenta accreta
