Unmasking the Business of American Childbirth
Episode 167
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In today's episode we're uncovering the hidden reality of modern hospital births and the "cascade of interventions" that often leads to unnecessary surgeries.
We explore why the U.S. has the highest childbirth costs but some of the worst outcomes. From the history of medicalizing birth to the long-term risks of C-sections on a child's health—including links to autism and ADHD—we look at what the system often hides.
Most importantly, we discuss evidence-based alternatives like doulas and skin-to-skin contact that can empower parents to reclaim their birth experience from the medical assembly line.
