44: {Birth Back When} Women wanted to forget their birth Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

Twilight Sleep or "Dammerschlaf" started in early 20th century Germany, with Dr Kronig And Dr. Guass. Twilight sleep is unique in that it used a combination of scopolamine and morphine to give women pain relief and also put them into a foggy state resulting in having zero memory of birth. Twilight sleep sparked the first wave of feminism in birth where women changed maternity care in the US.

40: When everyone is negative about your unmedicated birth Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes when we share our goal of an unmedicated birth its met with such negativity, so much so, that moms will keep that info tight lipped to avoid the unsupportive comments. Maybe you have heard them already too? "Oh just wait and see." Or, "you'll change your mind when labor starts." Making you start to doubt your ability to birth, or even pushing the typical interventions trying to make you change your birth plan. Weather this is coming from a mom friend, your mom, a provider or your partner- listen in for some ways to combat these negative comments.

39: Third Stage Research List Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we are covering the definition of postpartum hemorrhage, plus some evidence and stats on PPH with and without pitocin. The biggest reason that providers intervene in the third stage is to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, but we know that active management of the third stage isn't physiological and so it shouldn't be the routine! I also share a list of third stage topics that are a must to research for you to feel prepared and informed before walking into the hospital.
