Labor Support Logistics: Getting from contractions to an efficient delivery Conference
Join us for this exciting full day labor support conference that will cover: the Roots of Obstetrics and its influence on today's care, physiologic labor, creating pelvic space for fetal rotation and descent, the unique posterior fetal position challenges as well as second stage techniques to protect the pelvic floor and deliver vaginally. This class is designed for professionals who provide labor support; labor nurses, OB's, midwives and doulas. Come with your co-workers and together create culture change that is proven to improve birth outcomes!
This conference is being held in person/virtually.
