I have a new podcast up on the Motherlove Blog which I think you'll enjoy.
It's an interview with the Jennifer Block, author of Pushed: The Painful Truth about Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care.
We talked about the reasons for the record-high rates of cesarean birth and induction, the low rate of VBAC, her assessment of where things are trending, and how to avoid getting "pushed" in childbirth. We also discussed the response of women's organizations to these trends in birth.
A little while back I also did an email interview with Jennifer on the reasons for the high rate of early elective births, for the Best for Babes blog.
You can listen to the interview on the Motherlove Blog, or download it from their free iTunes store.
