June 5, Meeting Topic: Meet the Midwife

(location:

It's a great opportunity to meet a midwife (or two) and ask the questions that you wish you had asked the first time, to explain a medical procedure/option from your birth, or advice on your upcoming VBAC.

For example, you could ask about:

• How do you read a strip?
• What are we looking for in a NST?
  
• If a NST isn't great, what are my options?
• Can my OB do delayed cord clamping with a cesarean?
• Please explain the blood work that was drawn/
• What are the concerns about eating during labor and birth?
• If I get an epidural, how can advocate for myself?
• What is the relationship like between OB and midwife?  Who are the OBs that support midwives?
• What are the indications for a home birth transfer?
• What "risks me out" of a homebirth?
• What is well woman care like with a midwife?

Regular ICAN of West Los Angeles meets the 1st Sunday of the month from 4pm to 6pm.
