Your baby & body want an unmedicated birth, even if you are scared, even if you have a low pain tolerance, even if you aren’t having a peaceful water birth in your living room. And that's because there are a ton of benefits that come with physiologic, unmedicated birth.

You'll learn...

• How a recent client ended up with an unmedicated birth even though that wasn't her goal, and no her birth wasn't fast or easy.
• The cascade of interventions vs the overflow of positive outcomes and how unmedicated birth has benefits to you and your baby.
• The reason so many moms chose natural birth over and over again, even though it's the hardest thing they have ever done.

Today's episode is inspired by the fact that I have had too many mom in my DMs concerned about their low lying placentas. A low lying placenta is totally normal at 20 weeks, so why are so many women worrying about it??

In this episode, I discuss:

• The difference between a low lying placenta and placenta previa, and what it means for your birth prep.
• The overuse of technology causing doubt in our pregnancies.
• How our maternity care system infantilizes women by giving us minimal information and making decisions for women instead of giving them options.

Margot Robbie is pregnant. Will she invest in getting informed? Will she hired a doula? Will she invest in a physiologic birth at home? Celebrities have all the resources available to them, and very often they are opting for the most detached version of birth, elective cesarean or even worse, surrogacy. Join me in this rabbit hole of celebrity hospital births.

In this episode I discuss:

• How Queen Elizabeth had her power taken away during her first three births and how she demanded different for her fourth.

• The hospital is the hospital and it can and will take control if you let it, regardless of how rich, famous, and powerful a woman is outside of the hospital.

• The average rate of cesarean in the United States in 2022 is 32.1% and the World Health Organization’s statement that cesarean rates over 20% lead to worse outcomes for moms and babies.

• Los Angeles hospital, Cedars-Sinai Hospital, does not disclose their rate of cesarean and that is likely due to a higher than average rate.
• What it costs for a bougie maternity suite at Cedars-Sinai, Lenox Hill, and Mount Sinai. And did Beyonce really rent out the maternity ward for $1.3 million??
