Today we take on the age-old question of: Did my water break?
Not only do we talk about what really happens when your water breaks, how often it happens, and what happens to your birth plan when your water breaks. This also includes a look at hospital policies around your birth once your water has broken. (You can also hear us make the noise of water breaking for sound effects – awesome!) And check out our free handout for you to use with your clients!
We also have an interview with Sharon Muza talking about moving childbirth classes and client contacts online. Sharon is teaching in the Seattle area.
