111- Questioning the Standard of Maternity Care with Dr. Stuart Fischbein, MD

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stuart Fischbein to discuss VBAC, informed consent, risk, hospital policies, and the state of modern maternity care.Drawing from more than 40 years in obstetrics, Dr. Stu shares why he believes VBAC is often misunderstood, how fear and liability influence birth decisions, what current guidelines actually say, and what families can do to make informed choices about their care.Whether you’re planning a VBAC, exploring home birth, or simply want to better understand your options, this conversation will challenge you to think critically about the standard of care and what true informed consent looks like.Resources Mentioned:ACOG Guideline 664: Refusal of Medically Recommended Treatment DuringPregnancy🌐 VBAC Facts🎙️ Evidence Based Birth Podcast with Nicholas Rubashkin, MD, PHD📖 Why Home Birth by Jacob Dubois🎙️ Birthing Instincts Podcast📖 Fearless PregnancySend me a text if you have episode request.
