We often say that birth is natural. Yet few experiences are as medicalized, regulated, and system-dependent as giving birth. Somewhere between efficiency and empathy, we’ve lost sight of what care truly means. In this episode, Veronika Posch speaks with Marlene Schaefer, a practicing midwife whose work bridges the intimate world of birth and the often impersonal machinery of the healthcare system. Together, they explore how the structures surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care shape women’s physical and emotional experiences. And what it would take to rebuild a system that truly centers the mother. Marlene shares how continuity of care can transform women’s health, why over-medicalization disconnects us from our bodies, and what real “choice” in birth care could look like.
