Last year was the year of AI, especially in the entrepreneur world. It's all about things being faster, easier, and automated. And this has been happening with birth for years.

In this episode I discuss: - Automation fails from content creators. - The hospital is the most advanced option for birth and it's hurting moms and babies - The American College of Nurse Midwives statement on technology use in birth - How evidence shows that more isn't better in birth, and still automation is prioritized - The worst applications of technology in birth that we have today Listen to the podcast interviews mentioned in the intro: Under the Sun Podcast - How to have an informed hospital birth with Lizzie Down to Birth Show - The Birth of Fierce Lizzie: From Rule Follower to Autonomy Advocate Moms off the Record - Other episodes you may love: Avoiding Induction is not Enough 86: Why the hospital has routines Blame Henry Ford for your birth trauma xo, Lizzie Have questions?
