Today's podcast is a conversation between Kylie & Catherine Bell about the importance of informed birth preparation. Catherine is a trained doula and breastfeeding educator and counsellor with the Australian Breastfeeding Association. Catherine is the founder and author of The Birth Map. Birth Cartography provides structure and guidance to the birth preparation process, without increasing midwife workload, allowing for informed decision making and realistic expectations. Midwives play a central role in supporting women to discuss available options. Not unlike an Advance Care Directive, a Birth Map provides documented decisions for various possibilities. Making these decisions in advance avoids stressful, and potentially traumatic, experiences.
