Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

413: The Hybrid of Medical and Midwifery: Talking Breech and Twin Home Births with Dr. Stu Fischbein (DIAH Classic)


Listen Later

How do we make birth better?

Today we’re chatting with one of the country’s top leaders addressing this question, and not just addressing it, but matching his conviction with his actions.

They say don’t meet your heroes...but I don’t think they included “birth heroes” in there. Because you should definitely meet those people! Dr. Stu Fischbein joins us at Doing It At Home for a powerful conversation on his history in the birth world, shifting from hospital care to now working with midwives to support families in home births, specifically with the variations of normal of breech and twin births. 

Dr. Stu has nearly 30 years in the game and is full of passion. Chatting with him was invigorating and certainly added fuel to our flame for the work we do here and our desire to keep flooding the birth world with empowering and educational conversations. After we talked about his years of experience and perspective on breech and twin home births, he answered some of our community members’ questions. This is a must listen for every birth nerd out there!

Things we talk about in this episode: 

  • normalizing breech and twin home births
  • relative risks and actual risks in birth
  • midwifery model of care
  • why doctors fear birth
  • the medicalized birth system
