“Ugh! Dr. Stu defaulted to using inclusive language on episode #330 but then took back people to say “women.” Here’s a radical notion you can say “birthing women AND birthing people.” Also their insistence on “health freedom” is so eerily close to the Birch Society (super racist and problematic...”Read full review »

I went into labor with zero fears - having a perfect 6 hour labor and birthed my biggest baby. ♥️ The first sentence I said after birth was “I...”Read full review »

“I’ve tried to listen to several different episodes now and I love the down to earth information in them, but I don’t want to be listening to such fowl language. It would be fabulous if we could just get what we need to hear from this podcast without the fowl language we don’t need.”

“Some of the conversation is interesting, however I find the lack of actual research on topics is just not professional. For example: the reason why NIPT doesn’t replace a nuchal translucency is because they’re different tests with different findings. An NT measurement of >3.5mm at 11-13+6...”Read full review »

“Dr. Stuart Fischbein had sex with one of his patients 12 days after he preformed endometriosis surgery on her. He was then on probation for years. This is easily searchable via the California Medical Board records. Seems an odd person to listen to.”
