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.

Another Home VBAC
Why do babies so often come in the wee hours of the morning? Does seem disproportionate but makes the driving easier.

Well informed and also aware of the hostility towards VBAC in their local hospital they made a choice to birth at home. From the spontaneous rupture of membranes to the birth of the beautiful little boy took only 4 1/2 hours. Assisted by dad with grandparents hovering about we welcomed Lucas's little brother Matias Esteban into the world. Dr. F
