This is huge! Now to have Tricare cover on base hospital births as well!

The new pilot program to measure the health outcomes for patients who use these services will start in the U.S. next year and in 2025 overseas.

Aloha!!! We have finally made it to Hawaii!! We’re on our 3rd night! The family and I are still getting up between 4am-7am! The younger kids are adjusting quickly! Once I get situated I would love to investigate what “doulaing” will look like out here!👶🏻♥️

A study that has the potential to change our understanding of risk of VBAC was published earlier this year, just as many countries were entering lockdown. As a result this study may have gone "under the radar" despite its importance.

The OptiBIRTH trial was conducted in three EU countries and in a sample of just under 2000 women separated in control and intervention groups (e.g. birthing at hospitals participating in a VBAC intervention-study and hospitals not participating), only two uterine ruptures occurred, one in each group (meaning there was no difference between the two groups), with an incidence rate of 1:1000.

This is a small study that suggests that uterine rupture during VBAC may be rarer than originally thought, and confirms the argument that not offering women information about VBAC breaches her human right to bodily autonomy.

Babies in both groups were equally healthy (non-significant differences in adverse outcomes between groups). It will be interesting to see the effects of this trial on further VBAC research (e.g. larger studies) and practice over time.

I truly love all births! I wonder if it’s more “natural” for animals to give birth when baby is breached!?

My (15 year old) daughter is a macaron queen! She made these for National Breastfeeding week! I’m glad that she celebrates along side of her mama what “magic” our breasts hold!

Real interesting article!

Hospitals in several countries saw dips in premature births, which could be a starting point for future research.
