Ep 34: Obstetrician To Homebirth Advocate with Dr. Stuart

In this episode, Ebony sits down with obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Stuart Fischbein from Birthing Instincts to explore the modern maternity system and the growing conversation around instinct-led birth. Dr. Fischbein shares his personal journey from practising within a highly medicalised hospital system to working alongside midwives and supporting physiological birth. Over decades of experience in both hospital and home birth settings, he began questioning many of the routine interventions used in modern obstetrics and the fear-based approach that often surrounds pregnancy and birth. This conversation invites listeners to look more deeply at how birth is approached today, the long-term effects of medicalised maternity care, and why informed choice, autonomy, and respect for women’s bodies remain central to the future of childbirth.   🔗 Connect with Me Instagram: @alignyourself.podcast Tag me: @iam.ebonyrose 🔗Connect with Dr. Stuart James Fischbein Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/birthinginstincts/ Website: https://www.birthinginstincts.com/
