Birth combs work. Moms swear by them. Thousands of unmedicated girlies have used them to cope through contractions and yet hospitals don’t have a single one on the unit. Why?

In this episode, I break down the real reason hospitals skip the simplest, cheapest, most mom-approved coping tool: because it isn’t billable, it isn’t profitable, and it isn’t “evidence-based” by their standards. And this tells us a lot about the hospital setting as unmedicated girlies.

Everyone talks about “avoiding the cascade of interventions,” but what if the cascade isn’t something that just happens? What if it’s actually part of the hospital’s plan?

In this episode, learn about the cascade of interventions:

what it really means, how it starts, and why it’s not just a slippery slope, but a sequence built into hospital birth. From continuous monitoring to Pitocin to the “necessary” cesarean, you’ll see how the hospital already has a birth plan for you.
