This episode is a deep dive into all of the ways convenience culture has seeped into the western medical system, with a focus on pregnancy & birth, because, well, this is a mom podcast. We share our own experiences with the medical system, give you a history on modern obstetrics, talk about the illusion of safety, the HUGE gap between common interventions & what the literature says, the cascade of interventions, practicing self sovereignty & radical responsibility, and what you can do to avoid convenience culture sabotaging your experience.
