In this episode, Dr. Nathan Riley discusses the importance of consent and autonomy in childbirth. Nathan emphasizes that women have the right to say no to any procedure or intervention during childbirth. He also discusses the trauma that both birth workers and women may experience in the hospital setting. He challenges the use of interventions such as vaginal examinations and continuous fetal monitoring, which can lead to unnecessary interventions and cesarean sections. Finally, Nathan encourages men to be present and fully love their partners during childbirth and beyond.
