Beth Ryan, our midwife and childbirth educator will discuss:
Asking questions respectfully so you and your birth team can work together rather than feeling like it’s an us versus them situation
Verbal scripts to help you navigate these conversations and gain true informed consent
How to manage the reality of multiple care providers
How to be an active participant in a staff handover
The importance of language in birth
