#407: Waking Up and Challenging the Narrative

Blyss and Stu discuss a wide range of topics affecting maternity and healthcare, from home births and their underestimated safety to the new regulations threatening the role of doulas. They critique flawed studies, including the infamous Wax paper, and highlight a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice holding doctors accountable for administering COVID-19 vaccines without proper prescriptions. They also address the ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare professionals, and underscore the importance of storytelling in preserving factual information about birth practices. The episode concludes with a listener letter, reinforcing the need for informed, compassionate care in maternity services. ResourcesPlanned Home Birth - Marty Makary’s Blind SpotArticle: FOIA Reveals Troubling Relationship between HHS/CDC & the American College of Obstetricians and GynecologistsPregnancy and Prenatal VaccinesEuropean Court of Justice - doctors will be solely responsible for the consequences of covid injections - Europe ReloadedAJOG Study: Accuracy of antenatal ultrasound in predicting large-for-gestational-age babies: population-based cohort studyJoin The Birthing Instincts Patreon at patreon.com/birthinginstinctspodcastIn This EpisodeHome Birth Safety and Medical StudiesLegal Accountability for COVID VaccinationsMontana's Doula Regulation ControversyUltrasound Accuracy in Predicting Large BabiesVaccine Information and MisinformationA Listener's Personal Birth Story and ExperiencesBuilding Community in PatreonThis show is supported byWeNatal | Go to WeNatal.com/Birthinginstincts for a free magnesium with any subscription order. BIRTHFIT | Go to birthfit.com and use the code INSTINCTS for 20% off any fitness program.Pique Life| Go to https://piquelife.com/birthing to get 10% off for life on Pique's Herbal Teas!Restorative Roots | Go to  https://restorativemeals.com/ code BIRTHINGINSTINCTS for 10% off pantry items.Connect with Dr. Stu and BlyssJoin our Patreon! patreon.com/birthinginstinctspodcastInstagram: @birthinginstincts/@birthingblyssWebsite: birthinginstincts.com/birthingblyss.comEmail: [email protected] line: 805-399-0439Podcast webpage: birthinginstinctspodcast.com
