Kathy Fray - ORGANIC BIRTH - Understanding the Secrets of Natural Labour for Spontaneous Birth
1:30pm-2:15pm
Research is clear: Healthy kiwi women with normal pregnancies who opt for Epidural anaesthesia increase their rates of Emergency C-Sections, Haemorrhage and ICU/HDU admissions - and statistically their babies have lower APGAR scores, and higher rates of NICU/SCBU admissions. But simply planning to "refuse an epidural" isn't enough ... women need in-depth knowledge on Pregnancy birth-prep and Labour pain-management, including understanding the 3 Phases of Labour and the 4 Stages of Birth. Get empowered.
