Jen Atkisson is an amazing example of an empowered woman! Trisha met her at the AWHONN conference and really hit it off! We knew we needed to have her come on and talk to all of you.
In this episode we talked about a book called "Transformed By Birth" by Britta Brushnell, PHD. Definitely go check that one out!
Jen also taught us about asking for an ethics consult if you feel you are being coerced while you are there. We loved this advice! Its such a good way to make sure everyone is working really well together.
She taught us about Informed Consent (and informed refusal) and taught us the acronym PARQ, which stands for Procedure, Alternatives to the procedure, Risks of the procedure, and do you have any Questions? All of these pieces make up true informed consent.
She even talks to us a bit about the "Pitocin Paradigm"
This episode is JAM PACKED! Don't miss it! And make sure to share it with your friends! (:
