Had a good time today estimating blood loss in water births. What makes home birth safe is a well trained provider. I’m so grateful to all the midwives who taught me and happy to pass it on!

So interesting! No clinical trials have shown an improvement in birth outcomes from continuous fetal monitoring.

An excellent article today from . Note the lack of evidence supporting the use of continuous fetal monitoring, the clear influence of business and economics, and the money grab from AI companies who claim studies support their product - when in fact they don’t - resulting in remote monitoring hubs.

I especially love that placenta accreta is described early in the article so the public can see that cesareans carry risk. As a result, we need to ensure that they occur only when needed or wanted.

Note that the photo for this article is of a remote monitoring hub. One such hub is up to 60 miles away from the hospital in which the woman is laboring.

“Nearly every woman who gives birth in an American hospital is strapped with a belt of sensors to track the baby’s heartbeat. If the pattern is deemed abnormal — too slow, for example — doctors often call for an emergency C-section.

But this round-the-clock monitoring, the most common obstetric procedure in the country, rarely helps baby or mother. Decades of research have shown that the tool does not reliably predict fetal distress. In fact, experts say, it leads to many unnecessary surgeries as doctors overreact to its ever-changing readouts.

The obstetrics field has long ignored these problems. Now, it’s putting more trust than ever on the flawed technology, often prioritizing business and legal concerns ahead of what’s best for patients, The New York Times found.

This fall, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists updated its guidelines on continuous monitoring, sanctioning it even as some other wealthy countries have cautioned against its routine use…

All three remote hubs, along with 400 other hospitals around the country, use A.I. software to help analyze the heart data. The software’s maker, PeriGen, has claimed on its website that 50 studies backed up its products.

But none of the studies found that the technology improved birth outcomes. PeriGen removed the list of studies after an inquiry from The Times. The company’s chief executive, Matthew Sappern, acknowledged that no clinical trials had shown benefits.”

Bringing some sanity to the conversation. https://avivaromm.com/tylenol-headaches-in-pregnancy/?fbclid=IwdGRleAM_xf1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHpPhZN0qU39GAYtmj3Fzkdm0FHFaB4SOYjA9TYSYYudYfpMv58T2kcYer3uJ_aem_tsUWW65Bb0DK4PhfuWLmjA

Headaches in pregnancy are a common prenatal problem and there are effective, safe alternatives to tylenol and other medications.

We love doing education during prenatal appointments, and around 34 weeks we discuss Group B strep. I love this article by Aviva Romm, MD and send it out often.

This article answers the numerous questions real mommas have sent in to me, explains what Group B Strep is, and reviews the risks to baby if untreated.

Midwifery is all about the women, the mothers, the birthers. But there are men involved, partners who are working tirelessly to support and encourage their loved ones.
One of the greatest joys of this work is watching a dad’s face go from concerned to in awe over his woman completing this incredible work of birth. We often say that dads are often the most skeptical of a home birth before it happens, but our biggest fans after it’s done. Watching their wives birth in power changes their relationship forever.
So thank you to all the men out there there supporting, cheering for and trusting their wives and trusting birth 💗!
