If you're unaware, there are policies from over 100 years ago still affecting your birth experience right now. The truth is that changes in policy, even when supported by evidence, take a long time to implement and can actually be hurting your birth. We cover the most common ones relevant to you today in this episode!

 

[3:54] Hospital birth is best for everyone - because it's cleaner and more sterile...right?!

[8:52] Can we please talk about being "overdue?"

[13:50] Don't eat and drink during birth!

[18:05] Time to dilate!

[21:18] Giving birth on your back just makes sense!

[23:43] VBAC is High-Risk - didn't you know?!

[26:11] Cut your perineum! It makes more space and you get some cool stitches too!

[31:52] Stop that flow of blood to baby immediately!

[35:15] Weigh and swaddle right away instead of skin-to-skin. It just makes sense.

[37:34] Ointment up those eyes and vaccinate that baby ASAP!
