Maternal Health Expert Offers Guidance, Answers Women’s Questions
“Rural Doc” Alan Lindemann, M.D., supports women in taking charge of their health and their pregnancies.
Too often, women find that the healthcare they receive comes with a lack of clear communication, too little information about their bodies , and a lack of a personal relationship with their caregivers. Women’s health, bodies, and pregnancies are more likely to suffer without these and other crucial pieces of information in play…yet most women don’t know what questions to ask, or which requests to make of their doctors that will bring about a positive and meaningful impact on their care and their outcomes.
Now, there’s a doctor women everywhere can rely on to support them in creating the healthy lives and pregnancies they desire: “Rural Doc” Alan Lindemann, M.D.
Dr. Alan is the author of the new book Pregnancy Your Way: Choose a Safe and Happy Birth. In his nearly four decades as an obstetric physician, he has delivered more than 6,000 babies — with a maternal mortality rate of ZERO!
Still active, he now focuses on providing women access to information on maternal health and wellness, offering tips and insights for women before, during, and after pregnancy.
“Medicine is very political,” he says. “Everything today is touted as ‘evidence-based,’ but research is always biased in some way. For that reason, patients will only hear about how closely their obstetrician follows research studies, as opposed to what they’ve actually learned from practice — which is considered anecdotal and not reliable. Ultimately, obstetricians make decisions for their patients without consulting them. I want to provide women with the information they need to take part in these decisions and take ownership of their health and pregnancies.”
“Unfortunately,” says Dr. Alan, “today’s fragmented, corporately controlled healthcare system doesn’t do nearly as much as it should to help mothers and family members. Pregnancy Your Way: Choose a Safe and Happy Birth can help women and their families understand how the healthcare system has changed over the past 30 years and provide some insight into how to manage the resulting risks. It’s all about empowering yourself to create the health and pregnancy outcomes that you want.”
