Birth plans tend to be controversial, insufficient and not respected, for the most part. So should we have one? What goes in it? Does your birth just all come down to luck? Well, let me introduce you to Catherine Bell who is an absolute go getter and completely hilarious! And she shares the revolution of birth mapping – not a birth plan but a map and it’s genius! The concepts are different and birth mapping helps you, the birther, understand the different pathways to birth including models of care, interventions and what’s attached to them, the importance of language and communication to and from careproviders, and navigating the system to support the birth you want. Keeping in mind, “there is no one way, there is only your way!” Who better to start this revolution than a mama cartographer! Catherine also shares details about her PhD of the birth map. This episode is a MUST listen if you are prepping for birth, we cover SO much in this episode! I highly recommend The Birth Map! It is the revolution we needed!
