#11: Dumb Doctor Dogma and Evidence-Based BS with Dr. Stu Fischbein of Birthing Instincts

The moms sit down with the one and only Dr. Stu Fischbein of the Birthing Instincts podcast. Like April and Kat, Dr. Stu is 100% unfiltered, uncensored, and unafraid of challenging the establishment. This episode highlights some of our favorite Dr. Stu-isms. We hear his take on:

• How and why the obstetrics model of care is broken, stemming all the way from Residency to Peer Reviewed papers
• Fully trusting our bodies at every stage of womanhood
• Why for the first time in history the powers that be are recommending untested jabs on pregnant women
• “Standard of care” and “informed consent”
• What the Arrive Trial is and why it’s bogus
• Why it’s valid to have a healthy dose of skepticism in regard to ACOG guidelines and medical journal conclusions
• Vitamin K shot: relative vs. actual risk, the Vitamin K drops, and more
• Why vaginal breech and twin births have been on the decline
• How women who desire to have an at-home breech or twin birth can find resources
• Why more women are turning to free/wild birth 
• “Stage 1 thinking”
• What makes the OB profession unique (hint: it’s not the ability to perform a c-section)
• How fear is the most powerful driver behind decisions
• “Cognitive dissonance”
• What unethical medical care looks like
