159. Honouring “physiology first” in birth w/ Alicia & Meredith from Intentional Birth

In this episode, I chat with the amazing Alicia and Meredith who are doulas from Intentional Birth.

In this episode with @intentional.birth we discuss:

• What is a physiological birth?
• The 9 tenants that make up a “physiology first” approach to birth
• How to protect physiology even when interventions are required
• The wide variety of normal in birth and how these “normal ranges” are getting narrower
• How we can help women to trust birth
• What dilemmas obstetricians find themselves in when wanting to support physiological birth
• What OB’s wished they’d learnt in med school to help them better support birth
• The rebel OB’s who are trying to do things differently to support women

I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, jump over to @physiolaura and tell me what you learnt!
