#280 The Truth About Non-Experts Who Criticize Home Birth

Fellow travelers ask Dr. Stu to comment on a popular Social Media influencer's video. Dumb Doctor Dogma is everywhere, and Blyss and Dr. Stu are here to break down the fallacies in arguments made by non-experts on home birth. They also talk about the lack of acknowledgment of midwives’ credentials, how birth is not inherently a dangerous experience for low-risk moms, and why we should not equate the level of training with quality of care.

In this episode of Birthing Instincts:

• Pervasive bias for doctors over midwives
• Prevalence of personal bias in papers & poorly controlled research 
• Fallacious arguments on home birth by non-experts
• Why level of training does not equal quality of care
• Dr. Stu’s travels in Yellowstone & the Tetons
