Dr. Stu Talks Breech, VBAC, Twin Home Birth, and More!
Show Notes
On this episode of the podcast I chat with Dr. Stu about twin birth, breech vaginal birth, and what the difference is in the care you receive at a hospital versus a midwifery setting. He provides insight from over 40 years in the birth world. This discussion is such an important one, so grab your favorite drink and enjoy listening.
Stuart J. Fischbein MD has been a practicing obstetrician for over 40 years. He is co-author of the book “Fearless Pregnancy, Wisdom & Reassurance from a Doctor, A Midwife and A Mom” and peer-reviewed papers on home birth and breech birth. Dr. Stu, as he is known by, spent 24 years assisting women with hospital birthing and, for the last 13 years, has been a homebirth obstetrician who works directly with midwives. He travels around the world as a lecturer and advocate for reteaching breech & twin birth skills, respect for the normalcy of birth and honoring informed consent.
