Ep. 56 Dr. Stuart Fischbein, MD on Rethinking The Medical Model and Breech & Twin Home Births

from Rewire For Birth · host Cindy Tahhan

What if the safest, most empowering birth wasn’t in a hospital—but at home, surrounded by people you trust?In this thought provoking episode, I sit down with Dr. Stu, an obstetrician who walked away from the conventional hospital model to attend home births alongside midwives. His journey from a highly medicalized system to a more intuitive, woman-centered approach is nothing short of inspiring.Inside this conversation, you’ll hear:  ✨Why hospital protocols often prioritize policy over patients  How he’s training doctors on breech and twin vaginal birth & why they don’t learn this  ✨The real risks (and benefits) of interventions like inductions, C-sections, and epidurals  How systemic incentives—from insurance to pharmaceuticals—shape maternity care Why traditional midwifery skills are disappearing (and why we must protect them)  ✨How to reclaim sovereignty and informed choice in your birth experienceNoteworthy moments:“Nature’s design in birth is brilliant. Our job is not to manage it, but to support it.” “Fear drives too many decisions in obstetrics—and it’s costing women their power.”Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone who is, or passionate about women’s health, this conversation will give you tools, knowledge, and the confidence to navigate the system on your own terms. Listen now → In sovereignty & trust,Rewire your mind. Reclaim your birth. 🌺💗 Free meditation to prepare for birth: ⁠https://rewireforbirth.com/meditate⁠📲 Connect on Instagram: ⁠@drcindytahhan⁠⁠@rewireforbirth⁠
