Apple Podcasts5Claire123_United States5 months ago - A must-listen for birth nerds and newbies alike
There is so much noise in the birth space, which can easily lead to overwhelm. As a perinatal practitioner, I thoroughly enjoy and deeply benefit from the conversations offered by Dr Stu and Blyss, and those they interview.
I’m particular, having had my own experience with a breech baby, I am so grateful for their work in challenging mainstream practices around breech birth and empowering care providers to support it.
