This is a bi-monthly meeting with the nurse midwives at El Camino Health. In this meeting we will describe the option and benefits of midwifery care for your pregnancy and postpartum. We will explain how we are integrated into the community, our scope of practice, how we prioritize physiological birth in the safety of the hospital. Patients have the opportunity to meet their potential care provider and ask any questions.

LOCATION:

JCC - Room G-106

In this workshop, you can expect a light and fun atmosphere with hands-on learning. It is designed for families to learn useful tools and techniques that can help ease labor, promote relaxation, build confidence and promote labor progress.

How to use birth ball and peanut ball to help promote progress in labor
