Exciting News! Fowler Medical Group is expanding with a new location in the Waco area!

Join us in welcoming Brittany Zipperlen, PA-C, to our team!

Brittany Zipperlen PA-C is a board certified physician assistant who completed her undergraduate at Baylor University. She has nine years of experience as a PA-C working in functional medicine, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and orthopedics. Brittany, and her husband, Matthew, are thankful to be in Waco to raise their three children. She enjoys being active outdoors, hiking and running, boating, and spending time with her family. Brittany appreciates an active lifestyle and is engaged in her church community.

Brittany was intrigued after learning from a PA during her schooling, who practiced in a holistic way. She observed as many people experienced life changing improvements to their health using more natural therapies. She loves to help people develop a personalized approach to help facilitate the body and its natural healing journey. God created our bodies in such a way that they are designed to heal and she feels thankful to be a part of her patient's health journey. She sees her profession as a personal way to minister to each patient that entrusts their care to her.

Brittany is excited have found a place where patients are put first, care is about the individual person, and each person is able to partner in their own health.

A big baby is the new IUGR 🥴 🐘

A suspected 'big' baby is often used as an excuse to induce labour. However, what is usually not discussed is that:
1. Ultrasound cannot accurately estimate the size of a baby
2. Research does not support induction for a suspected large baby
3. Guidelines do not recommend induction for a suspected large baby.

If you want to reduce your chances of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) have a homebirth with a midwife who knows how to provide holistic physiological care

It’s an evidence based strategy to reduce the chances of PPH, like, by a lot! 1.7% at home/birth centre with a known midwife compared to 11.2% with active management in hospital…. And these stats are for women considered at low risk of a postpartum bleed.

So if we are really interested in keeping women safe from PPH we’d be encouraging women to hire a midwife and have their babies outside the hospital. BUT mainstream services are focused on trying to maintain the rhetoric that ‘birth is dangerous and hospital is safest’ that they can’t gather their thoughts to the idea of providing a holistic service that focuses on giving every woman access to continuity of care with a midwife or encouraging women to pursue evidence based birth places like home.

The researchers in this study concluded that ‘active management was associated with a 7-8 fold increase in postpartum haemorrhage rates’ for low risk women. This means that when you attend a hospital as a low risk woman, at low risk of PPH, the standard method of placental birth management will result in 11.2% chance of excessive postpartum bleeding…. Compared to 1.7% chance if you were cared for at home/birth centre by a midwife skilled in physiological placental birth.

You can read it for yourself, it’s open access, it’s called ‘holistic physiological care compared with active management of the third stage of labour for women at low risk of postpartum haemorrhage: a cohort study’.

Note: of course, if you are at high risk of bleeding or have care providers or a birth location that can’t facilitate the physiological birth process, active management of the placenta may be the better option… I’m not saying there isn’t a place for medicine… I’m just saying, when you take women out of a physiological environment and put them in hospitals with midwives unskilled in holistic midwifery care, you increase the risk of PPH by 7-8 times

Your perineum is made to stretch to birth your baby.
◈
When using good birth practices you may not tear at all.
◈
But if a tear happens spontaneously, it will more than likely happen along the lines of your natural tissues which heal more easily.
