Why join this assisted vaginal delivery drop-in
You may feel unsure about why assisted delivery might be needed or what different procedures involve. Using demonstrations with dolls and real instruments, Kim will explain why assisted delivery may be recommended, what happens during each procedure and what parents can expect in the delivery room.
The session will also tackle some of the common myths and misconceptions around assisted birth, helping you separate fact from fear and better understand the realities of modern obstetric care.
It was a really insightful talk. I also liked the opportunity to ask questions.
