Are you looking forward to having a baby, but worried about what it’s like to be a “patient” in the healthcare system? The Savvy Birth 101 is the perfect workshop for parents preparing for a hospital birth.
In just 90 minutes, you’ll learn what to expect once you walk through those hospital doors and how to navigate the hospital system with ease.
I’ll help you learn how to form the ultimate birth team. So when the time comes to bring your baby into the world, you can find yourself at the center of respectful, evidence-based care.
With Savvy Birth 101, you and your partner will:
- Define evidence-based care and discuss the difference between evidence-based care and routine care.
- Describe how the power system works in most hospital labor and delivery units.
- Discuss ways to create a team-based atmosphere in the birthing room, so that you and your partner can get evidence-based, family-centered care.
