#335 | September Q&A: Boundaries with Family, Oversupply, Pushing Techniques, Preventing GBS Infection, HBAC, Failure to Descend, Waterbirth
In this month’s Q&A, we start with a big one: What are your biggest fears in life? (Besides snakes and spiders, of course!) Then we dive into your thoughtful community questions, including:
- Homebirth vs. family pushback: My sister is a labor & delivery nurse, my family isn’t supportive, and my MIL has no boundaries. What should I do?
- Breastfeeding oversupply: I had a major oversupply with my first baby—will it be worse or the same with my next?
- Birth interventions: In my first birth, my midwife used hands-on pushing techniques and I was given continuous antibiotics. Were these necessary?
In the extended version of today's episode available on Patreon or Apple subscriptions, we answer additional questions on:
- preparing for a long home birth after a cesarean (HBAC) and how to avoid hospital transfer,
- "failure to progress" in a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC),
- whether we consider water birth to be a birth intervention, and
- if it is ok to sleep on your back in pregnancy.
Finally, in quickies, we discuss: the best HypnoBirthing class (ha), preventing perineal tearing, cycle length & gestation, our current favorite podcasts, breast reductions and breastfeeding, posterior babies, pushing length and positions, and a favorite item in our homes.
Thanks, everyone, and call us any time at 802-GET-DOWN! That's 802-438-3696.
