Episode description

In modern 'Western' society, it is routine for women giving birth to be under the care of a physician in a hospital. The preconception is that the safest and most normal birth process should take place in a licensed healthcare setting under the supervision of an MD.

Midwife Alyssa Byers-Heinlein joins the podcast.
