#357 | Back to Basics: Birth Planning 2.0
Notas do episódio
Six seasons later, we are revisiting one of our first episodes of this podcast: Using evidence-based care to plan your birth.
Much of what happens in labor is presented as standard, routine, or unavoidable—but that doesn’t mean it’s evidence-based. Birth care hasn’t become more complex because women need more intervention. It’s become more complex because intervention has become the default. If you’ve ever wondered whether what’s happening in labor is truly backed by research—or simply “standard protocol”—this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we get back to the basics, examining how modern birth is typically managed, where that approach aligns with evidence, and where it too often doesn’t. This episode gives you an evidenced-based framework, so you can better evaluate the care offered and recognize when something supports physiologic birth or when it may quietly interfere with it.
Listen with your partner, take notes, and use this episode as a guide for thinking more clearly about the choices that shape your birth.
