Welcome to DR. STU'S BLOG. Along with my podcast at www.drstuspodcast.com it is here that I post my thoughts on a variety of topics on the birthing world. Advocacy for true informed consent and respect for individual autonomy are the basis for the musings you will read here. I hope you enjoy while you learn and I encourage you to comment. Please check out www.birthinginstincts.com for information on home birthing with an obstetrician and my latest news and updates.

Rally for Midwives
Just a reminder that Friday, February 12, 2010 at 11AM on the corner of Rose and Gonzalez in front of St. John's Regional Medical Center will be a rally in support of midwifery and in protest of the new, illogical policy banning midwives at Pleasant Valley Hospital. By now I am certain you are aware of the unprecedented policy put in effect this past Monday that forbids Joyce and Lynn from caring for low risk women at a hospital designed for low risk patients. Mike Murray says its not safe there for midwife patients but OK for OBs. Dr. Carter says its not even about the CNMs. Yet merrily onward they go. Please consider giving of 2 hours of your time to support midwifery and challenge the absurdity. Show your support for birth choices! Thanks, Dr.F
