This bundle includes the following handouts:

  • Cervical Exams: This handout covers reasons to do a cervical exam, what the information means, and what a cervical exam can and cannot tell you. Plus, provider questions and partner tips!

  • Comfort Measures: This two-sheet handout bundle organizes comfort measures into the six senses to help families visualize their births and what they might want and need. There is also a second handout that outlines several quick tips that makes a great poster for a L&D room.

  • Fetal Monitoring: This handout covers the types of fetal monitoring, and the benefits and risks of each.

  • Fetal Positioning: This handout depicts what Gail Tully of Spinning Babies™ calls the "Fetal Compass Rose", or the eight positions that babies can have as they navigate the pelvis. Included also are back labor tips, stalled labor tips, and pushing tips.

  • Informed Choice: Making informed choices is vital to having parents feel like an integrated, valued part of their own birth. It can inoculate them against trauma, even when births don't always go as planned. This handout explains the steps of an informed choice decision, utilizing the BRAIN acronym, and models sample questions for their provider.

  • Labor Positions: Two handouts and worksheets outlining various position changes you can utilize while in labor. Positions include active positions, resting positions, peanut ball/birth ball positions, positions to help back labor, and asymmetrical positions, as well as tips on how to move through a long or stalled labor.

  • Prodromal (Start and Stop) Labor: Prodromal (start and stop) labor can be frustrating. This handout has helpful tips for parents on how to change things up and push through by preserving energy and helping baby get into a more desirable position for birth.

  • Signs of Labor (Cheat Sheet and Regular Handout): Recognizing the signs of labor can be stressful, especially for first time parents. This includes two handouts: One that's a cheat sheet for the refrigerator, and one that's a more detailed description of the signs of labor.

  • Induction Info: This handout covers elective vs medical inductions, questions for your care provider, and how ready your body is for an induction (cervical change, Bishop's Score). A great resource to add to your informed choice conversations regarding induction!

  • OB Tools (Interventions): There can be many tools that families may encounter during their birth. This handout covers: Cervical exams, membrane sweeps, IV fluids, monitoring, epidurals, nitrous oxide, sterile water injections, cervidil and cytotec, balloon induction, pitocin, episiotomy, and vacuum/forceps. We explain what each tool is "good for," but we don't go into a detailed benefits/risks analysis in the interest of time and space. A handy sheet explaining everything they'll need to pack for birthing person, partner, and baby!

  • Pain Medication: This handout is a great way to explain the benefits and risks of different types of medicinal pain relief including: Nitrous, epidural, and IV pain medications. Partner tips and questions for care providers are also included.
