This study is also having me rethink my practice of 2 prenatal visits to change to 3 or more. Better outcomes from 3 minimum prenatal sessions with a doula. #prenataleducation

"Infants born to these patients were 20% more like likely to be exclusively breastfed"

Given that our role is heavy on the education part, would be great if OBs would recommend us as a strategic tool proved by evidence to support patient birth plans.

Amazing what education can do, for providers and patients 🫶🏼 now let’s bring all the c/s rates down to match Sunnybrook 🙏🏼

I take most offence to the term “Male Midwife”

Ya absolutely. My grandmothers had far more children that I do and they had far far less choice in the matter.

Out of hospital birth is unsafe when without access to hospitals for effective transfer in an emergency, this access is barred in places even when a hospital is close. Home birth in itself does not lead to more death.

I accidentally sobered up permanently as a result of my doula on call life. Alcohol became intolerable in my body, so not all bad lol. But ya, divorce rate is high amongst professions with on-call time. I have to leave the country anytime I want to be all the way off call!

Also no one died for this meat.

If I were to start thinking about replicating a baby, I would for sure have started with trying to replicate the placenta. Once that is done, the rest takes care of itself.
