"Do We Need Midwives?": My Review
Episode 17
Monday, 28 September, 2026
The Earthbound Parenting Podcast and DIY Birth dive into everything pregnancy, birth, postpartum, partnership, and parenting—with an emphasis on taking radical responsibility at every step. Do women actually need midwives—or do they need something else entirely? In this review of Michel Odent’s Do We Need Midwives?, I explore his arguments about physiological birth, the fetus ejection reflex, oxytocin, privacy, and the ways modern birth environments may interfere with the hormonal intelligence of labor. I’ll also share where I disagree with Odent and why I believe the deeper question is not whether women need midwives, but what a woman actually needs to birth from her full power—and who, if anyone, should be beside her.
