  2. 46. Is Home Birth Safe? Part 1 w/ Dr. Judy Ribner

Jun 12, 2022

If you think that home birth in the US is unsafe, this conversation will challenge your assumptions.

Judy is a midwife doctor who completed her midwifery education at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and her Doctorate of Nursing Practice at NYU. Her research demonstrates how increased access to homebirth and midwifery care will improve health outcomes in the US. Professionally, she has attended births both in hospital and at home. Her practice is focused on reducing unnecessary medical interventions in order to facilitate gentle birth. Judy supports informed decision-making regarding the choice of birth setting. Through public speaking, interviews, and private consultations she has shared the research and professional guidelines on planned home birth, birthing centers, and hospitals in the US.
As a professional and mother, Judy cherishes peaceful birth as a transformative, critical life event.
