Birth With Power

[POWER REPLAY] Physiologic Birth: Benefits, Challenges & Why It Matters


Listen Later

This episode is a power replay and one you don’t want to miss!

We’re revisiting one of the most insightful and important topics I've covered: physiologic birth. I was inspired to do this episode by Certified Nurse Midwife Gianna Fay, who raised a critical question - how do we define and support physiologic birth, especially in a hospital setting?

As an OB/GYN, I wasn’t taught much about this, and I had to dig in and learn myself. In this episode, I break down what physiologic birth really means, what disrupts it, why it’s beneficial, and how YOU can be supported in having one.

You’ll learn:

  • How normal physiologic birth is defined
  • Which factors can disrupt the process (and how many of them are routine in hospitals)
  • What benefits physiologic birth can offer to both you and your baby
  • Why hospital protocols often contradict best practices
  • The truth about pushing techniques, fetal monitoring, labor positions, and more
  • How you can advocate for yourself and demand change in a system slow to evolve

Whether you're planning a physiologic birth or not, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and ready to make the best decisions for your birth experience.

You deserve a beautiful pregnancy and birth!
