Where does fear come from
• Culture of fear surrounding birth
• Fear of the unknown has been replaced by fear of the partially known

Where does fear come from
• Contradictions between medical model and physiologic model
• Influence of social media; sensationalism on televised birth related shows
• Perceptions from friends, family

Why Childbirth Education Works
• CBE puts the emphasis back on birth being an activity of woman-centered health
• CBE focuses on the evidence and supports empowerment for informed decisions.
• CBE guides thinking into perspective with a deeper understanding
• CBE is about advocacy that educates & reforms

Educate about What is Normal
• How labor normally begins and progresses
• Realistic reassuring info on emotional ups and
downs
• How women respond, how partners, doulas support
them
• The normal sounds and behaviors of women in labor
• Audiovisuals, discussion
• Demonstration & Rehearsal of techniques for
comfort & labor progress
• Discussion of elective/ routine and indicated
interventions and their effects.

How to Best Discuss Interventions
• Problems with BRA, BRAN, BRAIN, etc.
• We need to start with AWWWWWW – Ask
Why? What’s Wrong? When? With What?
• Then Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, etc.
• This assumes
• There’s time for discussion
• The caregiver is okay with being questioned
• There are options available (Institutional protocols are
not rigid)
• Why does an informed public matter?

Price of Ignorance Today, there are few checks and balances against high use of surgery, technology and medicine, for example:
• 30+% cesarean rate • 23% induction (2013 birth certificate stat) • 9.6% preterm birth • Worst maternal death rate in developed countries -
1:1,800 (33rd of 179 countries) • Infant mortality – 6-9/1,000 • Less than 10% VBACs • 25-34% incidence of traumatic births; 5-9% PTSD* When parents have knowledge, they seek care that reflects their preferences for family--centered and flexible care.
