Dr. Nathan Riley, OBGYN and Palliative Care Physician who sees birth as a natural process rather than a disease process. He is dedicated to changing attitudes around birth along with the treatment of birthing women. As the host of OBGyno Wino, not only does he have on the most amazing guests, but he also breaks down the ACOG Bulletins in everyday terms so that we can all understand it! It’s great for anyone listening who is really into the hard numbers and wants to see the evidence themselves! Or any medical care providers!
Nathan and his podcast have given me so much inspiration. He isn’t afraid to talk about taboo topics in hopes of raising awareness that birth can be better! Much better! He is not afraid to question the status quo and call out bad care when he sees it!
In today’s episode we are addressing how you can have respectful care in pregnancy and birth while engaging in shared-decision making with your provider. We are going to reset the way you think about prenatal and labor support!

Marissa is mom of two, wife and registered dietitian balancing a full-time career and motherhood while striving to stay healthy & happy. She empowers women with realistic nutrition education to confidently navigate pregnancy & postpartum. Even as a registered dietitian, she struggled in the first year knowing when, what and how to properly breastfeed, introduce solids to her baby, or transition to a healthy toddler diet - and taking care of herself…who has time for that with a new baby?! It wasn’t long until her poor nutrition choices and new life took a toll on her health—she felt chronically weak, tired, and was constantly getting sick. During this special, fleeting time with her quickly growing baby, she felt utterly exhausted and knew she needed to make my health and nutrition a priority. Researching anything and everything, she quickly realized that it didn’t need to be complicated, it didn’t need to be perfect, So she now serves new moms with simple tools, healthy tips and meaningful connections that nourish and inspire the journey of motherhood.

You should be emptying your bladder frequently during labor—and that’s exactly what this episode is about! HeHe is diving into the why and when behind peeing often in labor. A 2017 study stated that postpartum hemorrhage occurs in 3% of births, but the CDC Foundation suggests that up to 70% of those may be avoidable.

When Jaclyn Coy had her first daughter, she was opened up to the world of unmedicated labor. As she dove in, she navigated switching providers and exploring her options to have an unmedicated labor without the ‘hippie dippie’ aspect she had always envisioned being innately connected to unmedicated labor. Through her birth experiences and motherhood journey, Jaclyn created the Minimal Intervention Birth Method which inspired her to write the book, Because YOU are Superwoman. In her book, share shares the stories of 15 people plus her own to help you hear empowering stories of real life births by birthing people just like you—some births went according to plan and some didn’t, but all were positive experiences!
