Whether it's a maternal complication or a fetal or neonatal complication,
so i just wish that there was more transparency on the providers who are taking care of the survivors i have a lot of feelings about this but again i want to emphasize that i'm not doing this just so that i could say well giving birth in a hospital is perfect and there's no issues there i'm not saying that at all but when someone chooses to be in a birth center and they are considered to be low risk they should actually be low risk because that's what a birth center is for

I want to say that I am not anti-midwifery model of care, as long as it still applies to the patient. They may walk in at point A, being low risk, where the midwifery model of care completely applies. But pregnancy is a dynamic state. You have a lot of physiological changes, anatomical changes. A whole new being is being grown inside of someone's body. And we have to respect that.

And I say this all the time. A lot of things have to go absolutely perfectly for there to be no complications. And there's a lot of room for error just innately by being pregnant. We can't dismiss those, as Kristen said, red flags. And red flags develop, not in every pregnancy, but in a lot of them.

I feel like the stories that I heard on this season, they were being forced into that box where they were low risk. And even though red flags kept popping up, they weren't willing to acknowledge that they're starting to move out of that low risk box. As physicians, we get criticized all the time for dismissing patients.

It also happens in a free model of care, just as it has happened with us OBGYNs who deliver in a hospital setting. We have to understand and respect pregnancy for what it is. There is a lot of room for things to go wrong. We have to listen to red flags when they pop up.

We have to appropriately evaluate them and do what we need to do to manage them in order to ensure the best outcome for both the patient and the fetus in neonate. If we keep trying to dismiss them so that they stay in that low risk box, that's going to do a huge disservice to the patient and their care.
