Maternity care is evolving rapidly—from prenatal testing and labor induction trends to pain relief techniques and newborn procedures. As childbirth educators, it can be challenging to keep up with shifting policies, updated research, and evolving cultural expectations. This engaging session offers a comprehensive overview of the most significant changes in prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum in the past 5–10 years. You’ll have the opportunity to quiz your knowledge, update your lesson plans, and leave with practical, evidence-based insights to enhance your teaching and ensure your content reflects today’s best practices.
Participants may earn 1.25 Lamaze Contact Hours.
A recording of the presentation will be made available within 24 hours of the live event.
