Part 2 of 3 - Kristen Nagle examines pregnancy, birth, and neonatal care through the framework of physiological childbirth.
The discussion covers prenatal testing, labour, caesarean birth, delayed cord clamping, skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and the establishment of the infant microbiome. Nagle also addresses informed consent, the distinction between different types of interventions, and the value of supporting the body’s natural processes.

Parents should understand the benefits, limitations, and potential risks of prenatal screening and diagnostic technologies so they can make informed decisions throughout pregnancy.
Labour, birth, and the immediate postpartum period involve important biological processes, including hormonal signalling, skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding, that contribute to the wellbeing of both mother and baby.
Early separation of newborns from their mothers and routine interventions may have consequences that are not yet fully understood, highlighting the importance of preserving the early mother-infant bonding time whenever possible.
The method of birth (physiological, C-section etc.) influences important aspects of newborn adaptation, including lung transition, microbiome development, and early physiological adjustment after delivery.
Society should aim to strengthen rather than diminish women's confidence in their bodies' natural ability to conceive, give birth, and nurture new life.
My Mom had 14 children at home (midwife). I was a blue baby (cord around neck) born one month premature. For her last baby she was just too muscled up to move baby down. A doctor had to be called to our home; after a tense full day, relaxation injection, I think, Mom birthed her last child on her knees. I hate the procedure of giving birth on our backs, it's unnatural, such a strain on the body. If you yell, they give an epidural. Animals don't do it that way. Nature teaches us.
First birth was a c-section for brow presentation. What I learned over time is that could have been realized and surgery possibly prevented if the doctor had actually palpated my abdomen at each visit. The only touch I got was a gooey doppler. The prenatal classes instructor counted out 1,2,3,4 to say that every 4th woman would have a section. The next birth I was contacted by a stranger that steered me to a basement in the suburbs where a woman taught VBAC classes. I hired a doula. Stayed home until I was pushing. Got to the hospital 30 minutes before I pushed that little girl into the world. Five years later I stayed home. Four women, my 5 and 7 year old children were my quiet cheering section. Husband stayed behind a camera. Fire blazing, Christmas tree twinkling. There our little epiphany gift was born (2 ft away from the tree). After that I took a 3 month course with a labour and delivery nurse and went on to assist traditional childbirth attendants in the city and in remote areas of the province. Taught VBAC classes to couples to empower them to have the birth they dreamed. Remember the first intervention is leaving your house. The only women who had any troubles were the ones who's partners just weren't 'available'. The best years of my life.
