In this episode, we will cover: how her own experience with the medical system with her first birth caused her to investigate and uncover the dangers of modern birth practices how her research exposes how current cultural practices during pregnancy, childbirth, and the first year of a baby’s life are NOT all based on the best evidence and are NOT always in the best interest (or health) of the mom or the baby. what a pregnant woman or new mom can do to make sure she and her baby are getting the best prenatal and maternity care possible Resources mentioned in the conversation: a link to Jennifer's website: www.jennifermargulis.net a link to get her book: Your Baby, Your Way on Amazon About Dr. Jennifer Margulis: Jenni
