Yes, you can protect physiology on a ward. Liz shows how to use privacy, pacing, mobility, water and collaborative communication to keep labour flowing when policies and pace ramp up.

Navigate hospital birth while maintaining your natural birth goals through practical strategies and effective communication.

We discuss:

  • Environment tweaks that protect oxytocin on the ward
  • Working with staff: clear preferences and teamwork
  • Smart use of movement, water and monitoring
  • What to bring to soften a clinical room
  • Advocating for delayed interventions
  • Creating privacy in shared spaces
  • Using hospital facilities to your advantage
  • Building rapport with hospital midwives
