The Confidence Project Podcast

Pregnancy + Postpartum Revolution with Annie Hopkins


Listen Later

Whether you're already a parent or never plan to be- if you're pro-women, this episode is for you.

Today, Annie Hopkins and I talk about:

  • How the Industrial Revolution "factorized" the birthing process
  • Any other orthopedic injury gets a higher standard of care than giving birth
  • Why c-section rates rise before lunchtime, holidays, and hopsital shift changes
  • Why you're encouraged to lay on your back + push even though it's not anatomically advantageous for birthing
  • The USA has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world
  • The USA is one of the only countries in the world that doesn't have a Federal Parental leave policy
  • how the medical system convinces pregnant women they're disabled
  • The lifelong implications of this on women's health + quality of life + how that intersects with diet culture, bounce back culture and beyond
