NO, the hospital doesn’t have routines in place to keep you and your baby safe. Those routines are for the hospital’s benefits and in this episode I explain exactly how the hospital benefits from routines like electronic fetal monitoring, cervical checks, ultrasounds, etc.

Summary

In this episode I discuss:

• How the hospital routines make moms high risk

• The change from a 24 hour stay after birth to 48 hours

• Providers being incentivized to do more cesareans

• Efficiency, liability, and profit as the flow of birth in the hospital
