I'm honestly kind of surprised the Evidence Based Birth podcast would share something like this. There are a lot of alarming claims made without actually sharing solid evidence.

Super informative video. For 1rst time mom, at stage 2. how long do contractions last and in every how many minutes they come without epidural?

It’s mother and/or woman. Not birthing person.

Can you continue to inhale as you’re having contractions? Or do you remove the mask when the contraction happens?

This video is really good

Really informative. I'm surprised you have no comments.

boring and so lengthy video

This causes meconium aspiration even at the end of labor. It happened to my son.

I have vaginismus and will not consent to cervical checks. What can be done?

sounds like undiagnosed OCD

I had HELLP with my delivery at the beginning of this year (literally the beginning, she came on NY day!). Unfortunately my midwife missed all the warning signs. I didn't have elevated blood pressure, she was checking it what felt like constantly throughout labor. But for the last month at least of pregnancy I had severe pain in my lower right back, I was so fatigued, my midwife said I had a lot of fluid, and I had quite significant swelling which I hadn't at all during the rest of the pregnancy, which was pretty much ideal up until that last month. I ended up having my water break at 5am on December 31st, labored at home until I think 11pm or so that evening, went to the birth center, labored all evening into the morning, was at 10cm for quite some time pushing with the progress, then the contractions really started to space apart, like 20 minutes, and I was just exhausted. I asked to be transferred to the nearby hospital, honestly hoping for a c-section. Upon arrival they did some blood work and thankfully diagnosed the HELLP syndrome pretty rapidly, which meant no epidural for me, and my platelets were basically non-existent at that point, so they were extremely hesitant to do a C-section. I continued to push with the help of only Pitocin. My doula was my life saver, she looked me dead in the eye and said the safest thing for you and this baby is for you to push her out now, I can't tell you what to do, but you need to do this. I let them do an episiotomy although I was trying so hard to avoid that, but after pushing over 4 hours I realized she wasn't coming without it. Thankfully once they did it she came in 3 short pushes at 11am. After the delivery while I was having a pretty brutal recovery, Baby was having issues with vomiting, dehydration, and weight gain, and she also had come out so small for being almost 2 weeks late. We ended up rushing her to a bigger hospital a couple days later where she was diagnosed with Duodenal atresia, so she had to have surgery at 5 days old to correct it and then another 3 weeks in the NICU while she healed and put on weight. It was incredibly traumatic, and trust me, I do not throw that word around lightly. I was so diligent my entire pregnancy with a healthy diet and the best supplements and doing exercises and stretching and walking and only sitting on an exercise ball. It was pain in the butt but I did it for the health of us both. I put in so much effort for 9 months just to have every hope of a calming, birth center birth ripped away and to have my life at risk, and then to have my daughter be on death's door as well. I really do hesitate and honestly shudder at the thought of ever getting pregnant again. I also was such an advocate of minimal monitoring and interventions and the whole lot, especially since I had such a straightforward pregnancy, but I believe my HELLP syndrome and my daughter's condition could've both been detected early to save us both so much pain and turmoil if we'd just gone to a regular OB, or if my midwife was more educated or pushed for more testing. It's wonderful that your midwife actually caught that something was up, mine wrote off all my symptoms as just coming close to the end of the pregnancy, and during labor that I was just "tired and needed rest", and it was my first time as well so I had no idea these feelings weren't normal. My doula was really the only one who was legitimately concerned that something was seriously wrong and that I was in danger. But, I'm now sitting here nursing my healthy 8 month old that I am so incredibly thankful to God for. I just have lots of regrets and trauma that will definitely need to be processed, especially when the time comes to consider more pregnancies. Thank you for speaking about this condition, I hope it helps other mothers be more aware to seek help if ANYTHING feels even slightly off. Some extra blood work or an ultrasound never hurts and can even save you or your baby's life.

Thanks for doing the research. As with many things, one thing will not be a save all. It has to be in combination!

was rebecca's audio not recorded for the last quarter or so? :(

YESSss! I love this 🙌🏿❤️! I had preeclampsia with my first and emergency C-section, but I’ve had 3 VBACs after that- including a VBA2C! It can certainly be done, even if you have to fight for it! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿!

My doctor and every health professional I've seen suggests against it as it can be dangerous. How about we listen to them.. why would you risk it knowing that it could be dangerous? Sure, maybe its not. But maybe it is. Is that really the gamble you wanna take?

Wonderful info, beautifully said!

So awesome how our bodies and baby's know what to do.

I'm proud to say that my doctor does vaginally breech birth also as a vbac

They tried this in the Soviet Union. Everyone was equally poor and was equally without rights. But we can ignore history if it makes for warm fuzzy feelings

Great great discussion! Thank you doctor for all that you do 🙏🏿🙏🏿❤️!

wonderful interview! I can only hope for such a delightful birth journey for my 41 yr old FTM daughter! She's due in 5 days!

I had a traumatic exam as a teenager too. It's made it harder to get obgyn care for decades now.

It's offensive to be called a birthing person. I am a mother.

Is there any rights for women who are having a wild pregnancy and free birth ?

So much information. Just wondering how many deliveries have you done?

Wow 😮

Obstetrician here. I always offer ECV. Would love to do vaginal breech deliveries as I have taken the BWB course and have attended their monthly sessions but there is little support for it. I keep fighting! Patient autonomy matters!!

WOw what a great interview thank you both!!!! Love it!!

Thank you for these answers and for your podcast, it’s been very helpful to me

Hi , I have tried this for my 2nd baby ... 😂 it really works😊

Yeah, you know, the *actual work* needs done. The dtuff that's going to cost time, money & effort. The stuff that didn't get done in the Civil Rights era bc it would *gasp* cost actual money to repair. Well said!

Very thorough and detailed, thank you!

In my last birth, my midwife told me in a prior appointment when asked that I could eat during labor. She did not tell met that the hospital had an NPO policy after administration of an epidural. I was thrown for a loop when I had to miss breakfast right after it was placed. I gave birth 9 hours later, so hungry. This time, I'm going to make sure that my husband and I advocate for me getting food.

I was diagnosed with silent endometriosis with a ReceptivaDX test from Cicero Diagnostics in America. I went through 5 IVF consultants before I was told about the ReceptivaDX test in a FB support group. I lost 14 embryos with miscarriages and implantation failures. The test showed I had a high score (range is 1 to 4 and my score is 3.6) and I am now currently 6 weeks pregnant. I was put onto decapeptyl 0.1mg subcutaneous injections for 60 days along with once a day 2.5mg letrozole tablets for 60 days which forced my body into fake menopause. The pregnancy and live birth rate is higher if you are medicated compared to having excision or laser surgery. I am so grateful to have found out about this test and I recommend that every women going through IVF should take it as part of their routine checks before an IVF cycle.

Thank you for the meticulous sharing.

Thank you so much for this! I had PPROM with my first pregnancy, which was further complicated by the fact that my water had broken without me knowing it. No gush, no trickle. Wore light color underwear and I never even saw a spot. Have you seen that happen in your experience? Everyone said that when my water broke I'd know, scared now to get pregnant again, not know again if it happens and be walking around at risk of infection for me and baby in the meantime.

Anyone notice this is not the same baby unless the babies face changed sorry but I don't think it's the same child
