Reclaim the power of childbirth: the obstetrician on why context matters and how the system keeps failing women in labour

In this weeks episode I have the honor to sit down with Dr. Stuart Fischbein who is the American obstetrician who spent almost 30 years working within the hospital system only to realize that what he was doing wasn’t serving women in labour but rather keeping them from getting an empowered birthing experience. 

With that realization, he left the hospital based practice to support women in home births and community based birthing centers and is now one of the hosts of the birthing instincts podcast where he, together with the midwife Blyss Young, shares perspectives and knowledge on the beautiful rite of passage that birth truly is. 

In this conversation you’ll hear us talk about: 

• Why context matters and how the system keeps failing women in labour
• The biggest myths that are currently running the hospital based practice and how they hold women back from a natural labour 
• Stuart also shares his perspective on why he believe that probably half of the c-sections that are being made are probably unnecessary
