Click here to listen to Jane Blanchard's interview with Sonia Pressman Fuentes and me, featuring special musical guests Carmela Pedicini and Tanya Radtke. We discussed Maternal Health Care in the 21st Century: Sarasota and Beyond, and maternal health care issues facing Sarasota today. Thank you so much, Jane, for having us on your program!
Born in Sarasota is a collective of thoughts, articles, birth stories, events, and evidence in action supporting healthy, normal childbirth in our community. We are dedicated to promoting choices in mother-friendly maternity care practices and providers, informed consent for our pregnant families, and increased support of normal childbirth.
Do you have a birth story or birth photos to share? Please submit them here! Sharing your birth experiences will help empower others!
I believe that the current paradigm of maternity care in the United States must be shifted away from the medically invasive model and back to the embrace of birth as a natural, healthy process, one in which intervention should be used appropriately and with absolutely transparent informed consent. Without such a shift, our mothers and babies will continue to have unnecessarily poor outcomes, and we will lose our primal reverence for birth as a sacred event.
