#120 - Swati's normal birth with the presence of meconium

Did you know that meconium at birth is very common?Did you know that meconium is not always threatening for the baby?Did you know that normal delivery with meconium is possible when we individualise care and see the benefits vs risk from a case to case basis?Swati's story of natural birth with meconium is one where an experienced doctor did not scare her. He observed and as the baby was not distressed, he waited and Swati was able to birth the baby vaginally. Her son was taken in for observation in NICU but she was allowed to nurse inside and visit frequency. All of these show us the possibilities of what can and ideally should be a choice every woman should have. We are creating more health issues with the number of surgical births that are happening.We also explore in our discussion why another woman with a similar scenario had to undergo a surgery.Swati is a mother, an artist and an art teacher, she grew up in bangalore and was lucky enough to have had her child there too. She enjoys learning new forms of art, reading a good book and cooking. Other resources on Meconium:Dr Rachel Reed's site: https://www.rachelreed.website/blog/meconium-stained-amniotic-fluidBirthing Instincts Podcast: https://episodes.fm/1552816683/episode/YTFjY2UxODYtYjhiOS00ZjU0LTkyOTItZDQ5YmMxYzI2Y2UzSupport the showSign up for Childbirth Preparation Programs! visit https://birthagni.com/services#childbirth-preparation-programshttps://birthagni.com/copy-of-services#breastfeeding-preparation-programThis episode is supported and made possible by podcast recording and hosting tool Zencastr, it is impeccably made! Use my link : https://zen.ai/vxmuJUgYKKGTF3JuTuFQ0g to sign up and record flawless remote podcast , USE my code : BIRTHAGNISupport the show:https://birthagni.com/birthagnipodcast#donateIf you like what you hear, leave us a rating on Spotify app and answer the question at each episode!a review on Apple podcasts. Share on Whatsapp/Insta/FBShare on Instagram and tag us @divyakapoorvoxSupport the pro...
