When pregnancy is medically complex, the focus of care generally becomes the pathology of the complication. But the physiology of labor remains the same. By supporting the normal physiology of labor and birth, even when medical surveillance and intervention are indicated, care providers can support autonomy, reduce trauma, provide for healthy bonding, and improve outcomes.
This presentation will look at specific examples and case planning to highlight the opportunities for building physiological birth care into the medically complex birth scenario.
Learning Objectives:
1: List 3 benefits of physiology-led care for birthing families
2: Describe how physiology-led care can be integrated into support of birthing families within a medicalized model of care.
3: Describe how to facilitate care planning that balances a physiological approach with complex medical needs for family support in pregnancy and birth.
