While today's topic is Retained Placenta, the real lesson is our systems are broken — and those that broke them expect us to let them fix them. From CPS tyranny to more interventions, Dr. Stu is mad as hell and Blyss wisely says, “Don't let them do it.”

In this episode of Birthing Instincts:

• North Texas parents CPS case
• Normalization of interventions in hospital settings
• Retained placentas: considerations and Pitocin
• Impact of birth experience on mothers and babies
• Obstetrician education and training
• Choosing when to engage with healthcare systems
