Transforming Childbirth: Evidence Based Practices with Dr. Rebecca Dekker

Send us Fan MailThis week I am joined by Dr. Rebecca Dekker, founder of Evidence Based Birth, and host of the amazing podcast with the same name, as we talk everything childbirth.Dr. Dekker reveals the shocking realities of hospital childbirth practices that often prioritize outdated routines over evidence-based care. Discover how restrictive practices, such as limiting movement and denying food and drink, can lead to complications and traumatic birth experiences. Learn why advocating for yourself and understanding evidence-based childbirth practices can significantly improve outcomes for both mother and baby.There is a huge difference between old-school obstetric care and modern, evidence-driven approaches. Dr. Dekker shares powerful stories that highlight the impact of systemic structures in healthcare, which often prioritize efficiency over personalized care. Hear about the prevalence of birth trauma due to these rigid systems and the transformative experience of evidence based practices that are not just better for the baby but, more importantly, are much better for the woman.You can find some of the amazing, FREE, resources we discussed here..and you definitely don't want to miss out!You can also get yourself a copy of Dr Dekker's book in all the usual places or just click that little link!You can find Evidence Based Birth in all the usual places online;The websiteInstagramFacebookEmail [email protected] if you have any questions or comments or want me to interview a specific person As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.
