Course Description:
Birth is the US is “intervention intensive”. Current research supports both the value of normal birth and the danger of interfering in the normal process without compelling medical indication.
This workshop will present “best evidence” related to both the care practices that facilitate normal birth (letting labor start on its own, freedom of movement, birth in non-supine positions, labor support, keeping mother and baby together) and the interventions that are commonly used in most hospitals (EFM, Intravenous, restriction on eating and drinking, episiotomy and epidural).
Strategies for promoting, protecting and supporting best practices in the current maternity system will be developed.
Objectives:
1. To describe contemporary maternity care as “intervention intensive”.
2. To discuss the evidence in support of the value of normal birth.
3. To present “best evidence” related to care practices that facilitate normal birth.
4. To present “best evidence” related to commonly used interventions in labor and birth.
5. To develop strategies to implement best practice in today's maternity care system.
