Birth Plans Are Out & Birth Mapping Is In

from Almost Forty · host Kylie Lately

Today's podcast is a conversation with Catherine Bell about the importance of informed birth preparation, that we released on The Kind Parenting Company Podcast last year.  Catherine is a trained doula and breastfeeding educator and counsellor with the Australian Breastfeeding Association, and the founder and author of The Birth Map.  Birth Cartography provides structure and guidance to the birth preparation process, without increasing midwife workload, allowing for informed decision making and realistic expectations. Midwives play a central role in supporting women to discuss available options. Not unlike an Advance Care Directive, a Birth Map provides documented decisions for various possibilities. Making these decisions in advance avoids stressful, and potentially traumatic experiences.Head to birthmap.life to find out more about Catherine or follow her on Instagram @birthmapping Follow Kylie on Instagram @kyliecampsFollow The Frae on Instagram @thefrae_Join The Frae Community on FacebookSign up to The Frae Friday weekly newsletterThe Blueprint is available here, use the code PODCAST20 for 20% off 💙 Hosted on Acast.
