After her fierce & passionate speech at the Big PUSH march in D.C., we had to invite Dr. Florescue to the Sacred Birth Circle to share more of her experience as an OBGYN who is on the forefront of stillbirth prevention.   

When she learned that stillbirths can be prevented her enthusiasm to adopt the protocols that are working in the UK has helped her to reduce stillbirth rates in her own practice. She knows that not all stillbirths are preventable, but many ARE & we must do everything in our power to save those babies. In this interview Dr. Florescue shares tips for parents & providers to help reduce the rate of stillbirth in our country.   

Please join us for this empowering & inspiring convo + share with others to help us save even more babies.
