Water Birth: What the Data (and Our Stories) Reveal
In this episode, Brooke and Lauren wade into the topic of water birth—sharing their own brief stories for transparency’s sake and unpacking what the research really says. From separating solid evidence from hearsay to understanding sample sizes, peer-reviewed studies, and funding bias, they explore how to read and interpret data with discernment. Lauren walks listeners through a research review that clarifies key terms like hypoxia, ANP, and vasopressin, and explains how anti-gravity effects and APGAR scores factor into water birth safety.
Whether you’re a data lover, a birth worker, or an expectant parent curious about the evidence behind water birth, this episode brings clarity, nuance, and transparency to a conversation often clouded by misinformation.
