Description

Today on the show, Dr. Stu and Blyss are joined by their former patient and good friend, Desiree Doan. Desiree shares the details of all three of her birth stories: A hospital transfer, a successful VBAC, and how she navigated placenta accreta spectrum or, as Desi says, “That time my placenta went wild!”. Her story of self-advocacy is both awe-inspiring and informative…It’s amazing what a determined baby and mother are capable of accomplishing.

• The Physicians for Informed Consent lawsuit against the Medical Board of California
• The contrast between Desiree’s first two birth stories
• What happened with Desiree’s placenta during her third pregnancy?
