No one wants to transfer to hospital. Everyone wants a safe home birth. Families developed Birthing Better skills for use at home and if there is a transfer.
Birthing Better skills were developed by families, some were planning an unassisted or free birth. They developed skills for a safe birth, reduce and prevent ‘issues’ from becoming ‘problems’.
With Birthing Better skills you’ll prevent/reduce hospital transfer due to long labor. You’ll also use these Birthing Better skills if you do. You will feel in control.
The word ‘intervention’ replaced these words: assessments, monitoring and procedures. Use your Birthing Better skills to work alongside these actions. Feel in control in all circumstances.
Families who learned and used Birthing Better skills discovered a remarkable fact. They no longer feared birth and if it happened unexpectedly at home or on route to hospital they felt confident.
