Podcast: The Great Birth Rebellion
Published On: Sun Mar 29 2026
Description: Dr Andrew Bisits, Australian Obstetrician, built a name for himself over his 40 year career as ‘the breech whisperer’ owing to his willingness to attend vaginal breech births, but there is more to him than his obstetric courage around breech birth. In this episode Mel interviews Andrew about his 40 year career and about his declaration that he has ‘resigned not retired’ from his work. At the age of 70, Andrew reflects on his career and the changes he’s seen in the maternity care system and what he’s going to do next. Andrew is a gentle breath of fresh air and this interview will help you settle.   You can hear more from Andrew Bisits at The convergence of rebellious midwives conference in Melbourne from July 31st-August 2nd.
