In today’s episode, we talk with Rebecca Dekker, founder of Evidence Based Birth and author of “Babies Are Not Pizzas: They’re Born, Not Delivered.” She describes what Evidence Based Birth is and how it can put research into your hands to help you make empowered choices for your birth. Within the episode, we cover the significant topic of how to work with the hospital in order to achieve your birth plan. We also answer common questions such as: "Is eye-ointment a required treatment for your newborn?", "Does pineapple juice help with contractions?", and "What are the benefits of Vitamin K supplements?" In addition, Rebecca explains the best way to use the resources she and her team provide for the community.
