In this episode Jillian continues her conversation with midwife Karen DeCocker, CNM, DNP, APRN, IBCLC. Karen talks about how she got into nursing & midwifery, how research changed her life, her work with some amazing human milk researchers, two big changes in women's health care since she started her career, and why women are getting angry about not knowing their options. Jillian shares about the time she observed a c-section.
Also discussed: evidence-based, low intervention birth in a hospital setting, Karen's work in a small, rural community hospital, urgent vs emergent c-sections, and problems with distribution of information to moms, particularly to those of low socio-economic status.
