The moms sit down with the one and only Dr. Stu Fischbein of the Birthing Instincts podcast. Like April and Kat, Dr. Stu is 100% unfiltered, uncensored, and unafraid of challenging the establishment. This episode highlights some of our favorite Dr. Stu-isms. We hear his take on:

• How and why the obstetrics model of care is broken, stemming all the way from Residency to Peer Reviewed papers
• Fully trusting our bodies at every stage of womanhood
• Why for the first time in history the powers that be are recommending untested jabs on pregnant women
• “Standard of care” and “informed consent”
• What the Arrive Trial is and why it’s bogus
• Why it’s valid to have a healthy dose of skepticism in regard to ACOG guidelines and medical journal conclusions
• Vitamin K shot: relative vs. actual risk, the Vitamin K drops, and more
• Why vaginal breech and twin births have been on the decline
• How women who desire to have an at-home breech or twin birth can find resources
• Why more women are turning to free/wild birth
• “Stage 1 thinking”
• What makes the OB profession unique (hint: it’s not the ability to perform a c-section)
• How fear is the most powerful driver behind decisions
• “Cognitive dissonance”
• What unethical medical care looks like
