407: Birth From a Disability Perspective Both in Hospital and at Home with Lo Nigrosh

How do we take disabilities into consideration when it comes to birth? Lo Nigrosh of The Milk Making Minutes podcast joins us to share details of her 2 birth experiences. Her first was in the hospital and her second was at home.  Her decision to home birth was largely influenced by the policies and care she encountered in the hospital.  When asked, “Why home birth?” Lo responded with: “I needed to be treated as an individual with individual needs. I had a hospital birth with my first child and was deeply impacted by blanket policy that made me MORE disabled than I already am.” Things we talk about in this episode: Gestational diabetes Bradley Method Hemorrhaging Collaborative care amongst providers Links From The Episode: Lo’s website: https://www.quabbinbirthservices.com/ The Milk Making Minutes podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-milk-making-minutes/id1614255223 Lo’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lonigrosh/ Bradley Method: https://www.bradleybirth.com/   Offers From Our Awesome Partners: Splash Blanket: https://splashblanket.com/ - use code DIAH15 for 15% off your order Esembly: https://bit.ly/3eanCSz - use code DIH20 to get 20% off your order Needed: https://bit.ly/2DuMBxP - use code DIAH to get 20% off your order or DIAH100 for $100 off a Complete Plan Learn more about your ad choices.
