Today on the show, Dr. Stu and Blyss are joined by their former patient and good friend, Desiree Doan. Desiree shares the details of all three of her birth stories: A hospital transfer, a successful VBAC, and how she navigated placenta accreta spectrum or, as Desi says, “That time my placenta went wild!”. Her story of self-advocacy is both awe-inspiring and informative…It’s amazing what a determined baby and mother are capable of accomplishing.

In this episode of Birthing Instincts:

• The Physicians for Informed Consent lawsuit against the Medical Board of California
• The contrast between Desiree’s first two birth stories
• What happened with Desiree’s placenta during her third pregnancy?
• Some alarming statistics on the historical prevalence of Placenta accreta spectrum
