Description

In this episode of "Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses," Sarah Lavonne chats with Dr. Rebecca Dekker, the founder of Evidence Based Birth. They discuss the benefits of non-lithotomy birthing positions and the misconceptions surrounding them. Dekker shares research findings that show upright positions can lead to shorter pushing phases, lower rates of severe perineal trauma, and decreased use of forceps and vacuum. She also emphasizes the importance of educating patients and healthcare providers about the benefits of alternative positions and suggests strategies for nurses to advocate for their patients' preferences. Sarah and Dekker also discuss the need for continued education and training for healthcare workers to increase their comfort and confidence in supporting upright birthing positions. Want a next step?
