Episode 36: The History of Childbirth (Part 2)

It's twins y'all!

Just kidding. But seriously, how could we possibly talk about one of the only things that has been literally in existence throughout all of humankind's history in just one episode?? This week, your favorite nerds dive back in (ew) to talk about how the experience of childbirth has changed in the last century.

First, Casie brings us through the 1930s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, discussing things like twilight sleep, men trying to control women's bodies (shocking right?) and finally the step by step process of the infamous Dr. L. Sarah then navigates from the 1970s to today, sharing some really depressing statistics and also educating us on how mothers have (finally) started to come back into the picture with their own childbirth experiences.
