#211: What Mammals Know and We Have Forgotten

About this episode

The mammalian birth model is perfectly designed, and anything outside of that is an intervention. Today’s topic focuses on how the medical model disrupts the birthing process, when to allow nature to play its role, and when it might be time to step in.


In this episode of the Birthing Instincts Podcast:

  • The conflict of personal responsibility and autonomy decision making
  • How labor is a primitive brain function like breathing
  • Any care outside of mother and child is an intervention
  • What is the cascade of interventions 
  • How midwife wisdom is greater than the medical model
