Episode:E-57 Home BirthGuest(s):Grace Yun, Registered Midwife

Today on ParentTalk, Geneviève and Heather are welcoming Grace Yun, Registered Midwife, to tell us all about Home Births.

We cover:

• Grace shares her personal Home Birth experiences.  • Why might expectant parents want to choose to have a Home Birth instead of a Hospital Birth.  • Is it a good idea to take a child birth/prenatal class before having a Home Birth?  • Is it possible for a family to keep their placenta in a home birth setting. • Home Water Births.  • How long does the Midwife stay after a birth? Who is responsible for cleaning up?  • What care will a Midwife provide in a transfer situation. • Grace goes over all the equipment that a Midwife brings with her. • Is there an increase in Home Births?

Content Edit: Please note that Grace talks about how OBs are there for high risk pregnancies however she also meant to say that they are present in regular pregnancies as well when a patient isn’t using a midwife and also sometimes to assist and or consult with a midwife at the hospital.
