011. Conversations on Informed Decision Making | Dr. Stuart Fischbein

Cole and Keela have a conversation with Dr. Stuart "Dr. Stu" Fischbein founder of "Birthing Instincts." Whether you're a male or female this conversation is thought provoking and provides insight into how the medical industry's fear-based approach to giving birth doesn't work. Dr. Stu is an advocate for informed consent and made the bold choice to step into a natural approach later in his career through building relationships with midwifes. He is one of those unique people who have operated in both the medical and natural approaches and has a passion for truth and empowering women to know they were made by God to bring life into the world. We have gotten so far away from our "instincts" and somehow believe the lies that a controlled fear-based model is the norm. Dr. Stu shares a refreshing and inspiring view that will encourage all of us to see things differently. More about Stuart J. Fischbein MD: He has been practicing obstetrics 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, home breech birth and very soon on home twin birth. After completing his residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, Dr. Stu, as he is known by, spent 24 years assisting women with hospital birthing and, then 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.
