New Podcast Episode: Birth-Who and Where

In the latest episode of Evidence Based Crunch we go on a deep dive into who you can receive birth support from (mainly midwives or doctors) and where you can give birth (home, hospital or birth center). I am super passionate about this topic, you may here it in my voice. I had a great time diving into the history of these issues, exploring what current science tells us and reflecting on the spiritual aspects of these decisions. This was one of the topics I was so excited to cover because I feel like there is so much misinformation on all sides of the issue. Plus the history is super fascinating. And let’s be honest, I always want an excuse to talk about my home births ;)
