The second session, held on Saturday is for birth workers of all kinds: nurses, midwives, doulas, obstetricians, hospital administrators and childbirth educators – and parents are welcome as well!
Our theme is “The Evidence for Birth Choice.” Speakers will be presenting the evidence that supports patient-directed decisions for their birth like midwifery care, home birth, water immersion and waterbirth, with special attention focused on avoiding invasive procedures. This amazing conference is not to be missed!
