We are back answering your questions in the June Q&A episode.  We kick it off with a woman's story of multiple non-consented vaginal exams in labor, her complaint to the hospital, and the hospital leadership's response. Next, we jump into our questions including:I really want a home birth, but I am afraid that hospital birth is safer and that home birth is dangerous. How do I determine this risk? My mom had a c-section for a cervix that swelled shut. Is that possible?I am struggling with boundaries and decision-making with my husband around staying home and home-schooling the children versus returning back to work. Could getting in the water too early slow down my labor?  Barbara Harper from Waterbirth International calls in her response. I am ten weeks postpartum and have a positive pregnancy test.  Could this be for real?In the extended version, available on Apple subscriptions and Patreon, one woman asks if she should have listened to her nurse who ordered her not to push.  Could a nuchal hand in labor be a justified cause for a c-section? Should the cord only be cut after the placenta has been delivered? Who should I notify about being dropped as a patient and black-listed in surrounding practices?In our quickies segment, we discuss weight gain in pregnancy, periods returning too soon, precipitous labor and increased bleeding,  birth pools, early pregnancy, red raspberry tea and dates, strengthening the amniotic sac, a fear of sex in pregnancy, and our best marriage advice for after baby. We were also asked to share something we can do that most people don't know about us.Finally, don't miss the outtake!**********Down to Birth is sponsored by:Needed -- Optimal nutritional products to nourish yourself before, during, and after pregnancyDrinkLMNT -- Purchase LMNT today and receive a free sample kit.Love Majka Products -- Support your milk supplySilverette Nursing Cups -- Soothe and heal sore nipples with 925 silver nursing cups.Postpartum Soothe Connect with us on Patreon for our exclusive content.Email Contact@DownToBirthShow.comInstagram @downtobirthshowCall us at 802-GET-DOWN Work with Cynthia: 203-952-7299 HypnoBirthingCT.com Work with Trisha: 734-649-6294 Please remember we don’t provide medical advice.
