[2:06] Our Reviewer of the Week, Leeamandamay184 says: “I’ve never written a podcast review before, and I BINGE podcasts all day. This has been so helpful in creating a birth plan and know what to expect! As a first time mom, I only know what [horror] stories I’ve been told by others and from all the research I’ve done. I feel much more prepared now and will most likely be purchasing the class from myessentialbirth.com!”

[3:08] Today’s episode is about 7 of the most common interventions women may come up against in a hospital birth setting. I think we can all agree that most moms want to have the best possible birth experience, right? If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, you probably want a low intervention birth. Sometimes interventions are necessary, but often times they are not. However, there are things that you can do to avoid them.

Dr. Nate Fox, a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (aka High-Risk) doctor, joins us to discuss how passionate he is about what he does as well and answers some questions from YOU! We hope you'll enjoy listening to a doctor who clearly respects women and the process of birth, and that you will use his example and the information he shares as information in finding the right provider for you.

Here are some of the questions that were answered in this interview:

• How did you get involved in birth work? What made you decide to specialize in high-risk?
• What is your overall birth philosophy? 
• What does a high-risk doctor do? Who do you see/most common diagnosis you deal with? Twins? Gestational Diabetes? Etc.
• What do you do when someone comes to you late in pregnancy - is there anything you do to make them more comfortable with the process, especially women who are switching from a midwifery model of care or are seeking a less medically-managed birth? 
• Talk to us about why...
