Podcast with Natalie Elphinstone

Marker

I am excited to have our first obstetrician on the podcast - the wonderful Dr. Natalie Elphinstone!



I met @drnatalieelphinstone at an event last year and found her perspective on birth very fascinating.



In this episode, we discuss:
How Natalie changed her approach from “What to do and how to do it” to “When to do nothing”
Un-learning many many years of medical school and obstetric approaches to birth in order to be able to serve low-risk women better
Recognising that she isn’t an expert in physiological birth
The process of “un-learning” she has had to go on to be able to help women have better birth experiences
Navigating the challenges she’s faced whilst trying to change her obstetric practice
What she thinks is her most important role in the birth



I’d love to know what you thought of this episode, jump over to @physiolaura and tell me what you learnt!



If you’d like to learn more about supporting yourself through pregnancy, labour, and birth, then I invite you to join me inside my online membership program The Pregnancy Posse. We have weekly workouts, labour, and birth preparation, pelvic floor exercises and so much more!



You can find out more and trial the program for 7 days, just visit thepregnancyposse.com.
