Episode 4: Hospital vs. Home Birth

In this episode, Lindsay discusses the age-old debate of hospital birth versus home birth. She emphasizes that this debate is unnecessary and unproductive, as the two options are fundamentally different and cannot be compared. 

Lindsay shares her own experience of choosing a home birth and the negative reactions she received from others. She highlights the fear and ignorance that often surround the topic of home birth and explains the importance of understanding mammalian biology in making informed birth choices.

Key Takeaways:

1. Hospital birth and home birth are fundamentally different and cannot be compared.

2. Fear and ignorance often drive the debate between hospital birth and home birth.

3. The least amount of risk is associated with mammalian birth, which occurs naturally at home.
