If there is one area that divides parents and professionals in the birth world, it is the topic of interventions! Some may over-use technology, which may benefit a few, but will actually interfere with and hinder the natural birthing process of many. Others may cling so tightly to the dream of a completely "natural childbirth" that they may refuse an intervention that could be of genuine assistance in the case of a birth that has veered off course. In this class, we give parents a step-by-step process for identifying when interventions may be helpful so that, should interventions prove necessary, you will feel confident that you and your health care provider made the right decision.
*Review in brief the process of a normal, natural childbirth, and why it is important for you and your baby, both in the short-term and the long-term
*Discuss situations in which interventions may be helpful to return a particular birth to a more normal course
*List natural alternatives to common interventions so that you will have plenty of tricks to try before deciding to go forward with a medical intervention
*Understand common procedures and interventions that are used during childbirth, including their potential benefits and possible risks, with plenty of time for YOUR questions!
*Discuss unexpected outcomes that may occur and get resources you can use should you face an unexpected outcome
*Leave feeling confident that you can discern why and when interventions may be helpful to keep your birth as normal and natural as possible
