EP 83: Call the Midwife: A Conversation About Maternal Healthcare

As part of our series of behind the scenes podcasts about Alex and Mosheh’s pregnancy journey in 2023, we spoke with one of the midwives who cared for her. 

This episode features an interview with Christina McPherson, a certified nurse-midwife, about the midwifery care model, and the state of maternal health in the US. We discuss everything from the increasing C-section rates in the US, the history of why the use of midwives is much higher in the rest of the world vs. the US and the overall holistic care model. It turns out that we conducted this conversation just days before Alex delivered Baby Olivia. 

Alex shares a lot of resources and tips during the conversation, which she started putting together here. (Resources Page). She also has saved fertility & pregnancy story highlights on her Instagram page @alsall. You can learn more about midwives at www.midwife.org.
