Listen "Uphold Midwifery as the Art Which it is with: Dr. Nathan Riley"
Episode Synopsis
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and prevention There were 51,642 home births
in 2021, an increase of 13% from 2020 (45,646). This increase
followed a 19% rise in the number of home births from 2019 (38,506) to 2020.
For (non-Hispanic) White women, the percentage of home births increased 10%,
from about 1.9% of all births in 2020 to almost 2.1% in 2021.
Nathan Riley, MD, is a
board-certified OB-GYN and fellow of ACOG who left the medical industrial
complex due to his disillusionment with the “standard of care” within the
conventional maternity care model.
This was hard because “going
with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security.
On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births
and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more
in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and
caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into
practice.
Dr. Riley now focuses his
time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives
as a collaborative physician for midwives of all varieties in over twenty
states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in
need. He boasts a c-section rate of <5%, which is one of the best in the
U.S.
His mission is to uphold
midwifery as the art that it is and to honor birth as a sacred process and the
transition to parenthood as spiritual transformation.
Dr. Riley empowers women to
have babies on their own terms, using nature as our guide. He helps fathers
embrace the opportunity to connect with birth and their partners through
pregnancy and birth, encouraging them to go deeper versus distancing themselves
from this stigmatized but magical rite of passage. Dr. Riley is the father of
two, the second of whom was born at home, and he is proudly married to his high
school sweetheart. In his spare time, he walks in the woods, makes Dad jokes,
paints, and drinks coffee with amazing people.
He joined me this week to tell me more.
