Parents planning and hoping for a “natural” birth often don’t want to, or simply don’t think to, learn about cesarean birth.
However, we as birth workers know that it is important to learn about and prepare for the wide array of possible outcomes that birth may present. The focus of this course is NOT to instruct parents in how to avoid a cesarean.
This class considers ways to introduce and discuss cesarean birth with all kinds of clients, from those who are actively planning cesarean births to those who are resistant to even thinking about it.
You will learn gentle, non-confrontational, and practical approaches to talking about cesarean birth, along with specific skills and processes to bring to parents in prenatal preparation or in-the-moment birth support.
