from The Birth Class Podcast · host Fierce Lizzie
Birth combs work. Moms swear by them. Thousands of unmedicated girlies have used them to cope through contractions and yet hospitals don’t have a single one on the unit. Why?In this episode, I break down the real reason hospitals skip the simplest, cheapest, most mom-approved coping tool: because it isn’t billable, it isn’t profitable, and it isn’t “evidence-based” by their standards. And this tells us a lot about the hospital setting as unmedicated girlies.---Join Unmedicated Academyunmedicatedgirlies.com
