SERIES TWO: Who Defines Risk? - EPISODE FIVE: Whose risk is it anyway? Dr Stuart J. Fischbein MD
Nov 4, 20241h 17m
Series Two: Risk Factors in Childbirth and Who Defines Risk? This series topic was borne from the recent happenings in the world of homebirth in Australia around Professional Indemnity Insurance for Privately Practicing Midwives and the potential parameters that they will have to practice within. Advocacy efforts are underway to ensure that women can continue to choose where and with whom they give birth and that midwives can continue to support them. Homebirth Australia (HBA) are asking people to write to their MPs informing them of how the proposed insurance will impact them personally. Please refer to HBA Instagram for more information: www.instagram.com/homebirth_australia Episode Five: Whose risk is it anyway? Dr Stuart J. Fischbein MD Dr Stuart J. Fischbein MD or otherwise lovingly known as Dr Stu, is a community-based obstetrician and an Associate of the American College of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. He is a published author of the book “ Fearless Pregnancy, Wisdom & Reassurance from a Doctor, A Midwife and A Mom ” and has published many peer-reviewed papers relating to homebirth and breech birth out of the hospital setting. His research on 100 home twin births has been submitted for publication. After completing his residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, Dr Stu, spent 24 years assisting women with hospital birthing and, for the next 13 years, was a homebirth obstetrician who worked directly with midwives. Since retiring from attending home births in 2022, Dr Stu has turned his focus to traveling around the world as a lecturer and advocate for reteaching breech & twin birth skills, respect for the normalcy of birth and honouring informed consent. He hosts the weekly Birthing Instincts podcast with co-host Blyss Young and together they offer hope, reassurance and safe, honest evidence supported choices for those women who understand pregnancy is a normal bodily function not to be feared. We talk with Dr Stu about his vast experience supporting breech and twin birth at home, we discuss risk and what it means to different women and different practitioners, and we pick his brain about insurance, the political climate around birth, money, obstetrics, the system and plenty more. Be sure not to miss this one. Dr Stu isn’t scared to say it how it is, and we are so grateful and hold the deepest respect for his honesty and knowledge.

SERIES TWO: Who Defines Risk? - EPISODE FOUR: Two birth stories with Mia Briski

Series Two: Risk Factors in Childbirth and Who Defines Risk? This series topic was borne from the recent happenings in the world of homebirth in Australia around Professional Indemnity Insurance for Privately Practicing Midwives and the potential parameters that they will have to practice within. Advocacy efforts are underway to ensure that women can continue to choose where and with whom they give birth and that midwives can continue to support them. Homebirth Australia (HBA) are asking people to write to their MPs informing them of how the proposed insurance will impact them personally. Please refer to HBA Instagram for more information: www.instagram.com/homebirth_australia Episode Four: Two birth stories with Mia Briski Mia is a transformational birth coach and v aginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) mumma of two, whose daughter Kali was born at home on this day (the day of our interview) in 2022. In this episode Mia shares with us her two very different births stories - an emergency caesarean and then a home birth. Like so many, Mia’s emergency caesarean story kicks off with being induced and not knowing if and how to push back - the next chapter involves her overcoming her obstacles and having a beautiful birth at home. If Mia was planning a VBAC at home today having previous gestational hypertension, Mia would fall into Cat B/C within the Australian College of Midwives Guidelines for Consultation and Referral. As a result, Mia would not meet the proposed ‘low risk’ criteria which would allow a privately practising midwifes practice to be covered by professional indemnity insurance under the proposed changes, despite the fact that Mia had a straight forward, safe and beautiful VBAC at home. Mia’s story shows us why a woman should be the person who determines what risk she is or is not willing to take. Now Mia is harnessing the power of positive psychology and her own experience to guide women through home birth and to break down barriers.

SERIES TWO: Who Defines Risk? - EPISODE THREE: Choosing a future homebirth after two caesareans with Katelyn Commerford

This series topic was borne from the recent happenings in the world of homebirth in Australia around Professional Indemnity Insurance for Privately Practicing Midwives and the potential parameters that they will have to practice within. Advocacy efforts are underway to ensure that women can continue to choose where and with whom they give birth and that midwives can continue to support them. Homebirth Australia (HBA) are asking people to write to their MPs informing them of how the proposed insurance will impact them personally. Please refer to HBA Instagram for more information: www.instagram.com/homebirth_australia Episode Two: Choosing a future homebirth after two caesareans with Katelyn Commerford In this episode Jerusha and Jo talk with Katelyn, who is a mother of two gorgeous girls, both born via caesarean – one under the care of a private obstetrician and one following a homebirth transfer with a private midwife. Katelyn lives in Western Sydney on Darug land with her children and husband, Sam. She works as a doula, vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) mentor and educator, Kangatraining instructor, and women's circle facilitator, specifically hosting homebirth transfer circles and VBAC support circles. She is also President of Homebirth NSW, co-host of the Australian VBAC Stories podcast, and perhaps most importantly, is a woman whose future birth choices would be drastically impacted by the professional indemnity insurance changes as they are currently proposed. Katelyn takes us on the journey of her two labour and birth stories and openly shares some of the intricate details of her experiences and how they have shaped her decision making. She discusses with us the emotions that come with a homebirth transfer and how often women feel like they don’t belong. We loved chatting with Katelyn and were struck by her ability to share her story with such raw and honest conviction. She shows us through her story the significance of a woman’s right to choose and the absolute importance of the woman defining risk for herself and her baby.

SERIES TWO: Who Defines Risk? - EPISODE ONE: Exploring the concept of risk with Kristyn Begnell from Homebirth Australia

Series Two: Risk Factors in Childbirth and Who Defines Risk? This series topic was borne from the recent happenings in the world of homebirth in Australia around Professional Indemnity Insurance for Privately Practicing Midwives and the potential parameters that they will have to practice within. Advocacy efforts are underway to ensure that women can continue to choose where and with whom they give birth and that midwives can continue to support them. Homebirth Australia (HBA) are asking people to write to their MPs informing them of how the proposed insurance will impact them personally. Please refer to HBA Instagram for more information: www.instagram.com/homebirth_australia Episode One: Exploring the concept of risk with Kristyn Begnell from Homebirth Australia In this episode Jo and Jerusha chat with Kristyn Begnell from Homebirth Australia. They explore the concept of risk, who gets to define it and how this potentially violates human rights and ethical practice guidelines. Kristyn is a mother of two young girls, living on Darug and Gundungurra country in the Blue Mountains of NSW. After researching different models of care, Kristyn planned a homebirth with a privately practising midwife (PPM) for her first child but transferred to hospital at 37 weeks due to medical complications unrelated to pregnancy. She describes her birth experience in a public hospital as traumatic. Kristyn saw the same midwife during her second and third pregnancies and had a successful homebirth after caesarean in 2018. This experience propelled her into maternity advocacy, particularly homebirth advocacy, when she became a consumer representative for her local publicly funded homebirth program and joined Homebirth NSW (then Homebirth Access Sydney) in 2018. She has since been a consumer representative for the Australian College of Midwives, the Bureau of Health Information, the NSW Ministry of Health, The Agency of Clinical Innovation, the LEAPP Guidelines, her local health district and has been the National Convenor of Homebirth Australia since 2021. Kristyn testified at the recent NSW Birth Trauma Inquiry both as a consumer and as a representative of Homebirth Australia.
