In Episode 5 of GinaCology, Gina Cloud sits down with Dr. Stuart “Dr. Stu” Fishbein to unpack the modern pregnancy and birth experience, the medicalization of women’s bodies, and why informed consent matters more than ever. From hospital birth protocols to home birth, midwifery, C-sections, VBACs, breech birth, ultrasounds, and bodily sovereignty, this episode challenges women to question the system and reconnect with the innate wisdom of their bodies. 00:00 Welcome to GinaCology01:09 Pregnancy Birth Crisis03:05 Meet Dr Stuart06:29 From OB To Midwifery11:11 Midwives Change Everything15:31 Collaborative Care Model17:18 Hospital Pushback18:44 Home Birth Awakening28:48 Vaccines And Pregnancy42:46 Algorithm Medicine46:41 Turning Toward Hope47:16 Witnessing Real Labor49:16 Home Birth Without Timetables58:14 Rite of Passage Power01:03:45 Epidurals and Baby Stress01:08:44 Birth Shapes Society01:11:51 Fathers and Human Rights01:18:59 Midwives Under Attack01:28:58 ClosingFor more info, and to join my list, come find me at: https://ginacloud.comInternational Bestselling author of W.O.M.A.N.: A New Definition For Reclaiming The Feminine: https://a.co/d/0akTHehlFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ginacloud/Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ginacloudginacology?lang=enListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033dhs0t8FyCN7xBj6hKHC?si=34ecfcedddba42caListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ginacology/id1896495839Listen on Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7d586e93-693d-45ee-a926-79f91ee01549/ginacologyProduced in partnership with SB Studios.Start Your Podcast Today Here: https://www.sbstudios.co
