I’m kicking off the new year with a really important episode about physiologic birth. I was inspired to cover this topic by our guest from episode 168, CNM Gianna Fay. She wrote to me asking if I would be willing to cover it and my response was - sure… but how?
It’s not a topic that OB/GYNs are taught much if anything about. The term gets used a lot in the online space but it’s not often defined. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and see what information I could find. I learned about it myself and I’m going to share that information with you today.
-How normal physiologic birth is defined
-Which factors disrupt physiologic childbirth
-What are the benefits of normal physiologic birth
-Whether any one position should be mandated or prescribed
-What are the factors that influence physiologic birth
-Why it’s vital for your medical team to support your wishes
-What makes it necessary to intervene
