As A Labor & Delivery Nurse, Do You Ever...
- feel you’re NOT equipped to confidently support complex patients situations?

We also answered YES to some or all of these.

Birth Trauma FACTS
It's a perinatal and infant healthcare crisis.
- Highest maternal mortality rate among developed countries
- 2/3 of these deaths are considered to be preventable
- 3.5x higher pregnancy-related mortality rate among Black birthing folks & 2x higher among Native American birthers
- NTSV rates 11%-77%, and many cesareans are preventable
Birth Trauma Spreads
Birth trauma and vicarious trauma are intertwined. You must learn how to untangle your own traumatic stress from your patients’ stories in order to provide individualized care.
Psychologically safe care can support both patient and nurse mental health
