Are You Ready? Birth Plan Workshop

VBAC? Epidural? Unmedicated? Planned c-section? No matter what kind of birth you are hoping to have, this workshop will help you clarify your options and give you tools to work with your healthcare provider to make your birth the most satisfying that it can be.

Find out what choices you have regarding your labor, delivery, and post-partum experiences. Learn about the benefits, risks, and alternatives to various procedures and how to work with your doctor or midwife to ensure that you receive the care that is right for you. Empower yourself to make informed decisions. This is your birth - let your voice be heard!

The birth options workshop will be held Sat., May 16th from 2-5 p.m. in Meeting Room A at the Iowa City Public Library. It's free and open to the public. It is structured so that people could attend just the first part or just the second part and still get good information out of it.

This event is sponsored by the Iowa City Doulas as part of International Doula Month. Please visit the Iowa City Public Library calender at www.icpl.org for more information on this event.
