Show Notes
This episode explores the historical shift from home births to hospital births in the U.S. Using a 1928–1940 study, the episode explains how rising hospital births initially increased interventions and infection risks and shows that maternal mortality only declined after some simple adjustments.
From a Christian perspective, Aly discusses cultural trust in medical institutions, the professionalization of obstetrics, and how understanding this history can help women make informed choices about childbirth today.
