NURSES

Spontaneous labor still matters!  Women need to know the benefits of spontaneous labor for themselves and their babies.  Nurses need to be able to educate women that waiting for spontaneous labor means their babies are ready for birth and that their bodies are receptive to labor.

With this webinar:  You will better understand why spontaneous labor can promote improved outcomes for women and their babies.


HOSPITALS

Perinatal units that have more women in spontaneous labor have the opportunity to optimally utilize their staff and  room resources , thereby, decreasing inpatient stays and reducing healthcare costs.

With this webinar:  Your staff will understand why spontaneous labor can positively  impact women, babies, families and the personnel who provide their care.

Register today and you and your colleagues/staff will learn:

  • Historical trends in spontaneous and induced labor
  • The benefits of spontaneous labor
      1. Women:  physiologic benefits of the hormonal cascade that occurs when labor starts on its own, lower rates of intervention with spontaneous vs. induced labor, decreased average length of stay (LOS).
      2. Babies: physiologic benefits and improved breastfeeding   Families: impact of shorter LOS, women's recovery after childbirth, return to employment.
      3. Nurses and healthcare organizations: wise use of nurse staffing and room resources, facilitation of appropriate nurse staffing for medically-indicated inductions. 

  • Educational messages about spontaneous labor
      1. How nurses can effectively educate women about the benefits of spontaneous labor.
      2. AWHONN's consumer campaign: "Don't rush me...Go the Full 40" Promoting healthy outcomes based on informed decision making.
