EP 115 \ Breech Birth with Dr. Stuart Fischbein - Part 1: The History of Why The Medical System Decided Vaginal Breech Birth Is Not “Safe”, How Research Today Is Broken, Hospital Policy, and MORE!

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

Show Notes:

Today's show is part one 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 first section of our interview you will learn about:

• The cognitive dissonance that physicians must have to be able to work in the current obstetrical model
• The ethics of being a doctor as an employee
• How hospital policy dictates how care is delivered
• How breech was moved from being a normal vaginal delivery to almost exclusively a cesarean birth
• Some history of vaccines in pregnancy
• How research today is unethically formulated
• Unnecessary c-sections
• Errol Norwich's telling statement about nature being a bad obstetrician
• The downstream consequences of unnecessary c-sections, other interventions, testing, and more!
