Birth Options Class
Las Clases de Opciones de NacimientosSe Habla Espanol,pero despacio!
This is a class I am going to teach to the public to help them learn what options are available for them in birth. Many people have less than satisfactory experiences and outcomes because they don't know they have a choice. Many institutions don't like clients to know they have a choice, because it makes it more difficult for the staff to interfere with the normal course of labor(Medical model of care or "Managed Birth"). The hospital also cannot make as much money on ladies who don't need epidurals, pitocin drips, and cesareans. I intend to change that.
Some of the topics covered will be:
- What is an option, and what is mandatory?
- homebirth
- birth center
- waterbirth
- Hospital birth and how to negotiate
- Lotus birth
how to find an attendant - how to prepare for a homebirth
- unassisted birth
- how to prepare for an unassisted birth
- political clout
