Racial Disparity in C-Section Rates: Unpacking bias in the medical system 39:41

3d ago39:41

39:41

When we talk about C-sections, it’s often prefaced with “unplanned” or “emergency.” About a third of all the deliveries in the U.S. are cesarean sections, and only about 16% of those are planned. And that leaves a lot of mothers in a position where they’re delivering differently than they planned or intended to. And in the U.S., a disproportionate …

43:51

In the run-up to November 5th, it's easy to feel hopeless about the state of our national discourse, and what any single one of us can do to make a difference.

All About Midwives: What they do, and how they differ from OBs 44:29

44:29

Midwives are having a bit of a moment. Of course, that moment is not at all new. For a very, very long time, — hundreds, possibly thousands, of years — midwives, or people who were effectively midwives, were delivering all babies. Even when “doctor” became a more formal job, births were still nearly always attended by midwives. At some point, thoug…

When we were growing up, screens came in fixed, predictable contexts: TV, movie theaters, computer labs, Oregon Trail.
