Lael Stone
Join Kay and Narelle in a fascinating conversation with Jules Brooks and Lael Stone from AboutBirth as they discuss the role of a Doula in empowering and educating women to achieve the birth experience they desire.
As recognized by the World Health Organisation and data taken from various medical and cultural studies from around the world, the benefits of having an experienced, trained support person can:
- Shorten the length of labour by 25%
- Reduce the possibility of caesarean section by 51%
- Reduction in analgesia (epidurals) by 35%
- Reduction in use of forceps by 57%
- Reduction in oxytocin augmentation (drips to speed up or begin labour) by 71%
- Studies have shown that mothers who use a birth attendant/doula have a lower incidence of postpartum depression, breastfeed longer and are more closely bonded with their babies.
Marilyn Levin from Four Years Go talks with Viarnne and Peter about the sufficiency and when enough is enough…
Why is the assumption or “attitude of scarcity” a fundamental root cause of all of the crises we face right now?
How are the principles of sufficiency relevant to the creation of a just, sustainable and fulfilling future?
How can the context of sufficiency empower the FOUR YEARS. GO. moment for the everyday hero?
