Webinars
Breech Birth Webinar
Breech shouldn’t automatically mean “mandatory surgery”. There are options. This webinar will help families and clinicians move from fear to facts. Rixa Freeze, founder and president of Breech Without Borders, shares the history behind breech and the research comparing birth modalities.
Informed Consent Webinar
In this webinar with Dr. Stuart Fischbein of Birthing Instincts and Birthing Instincts podcast, we will break down the different types of informed consent and refusal. We will also discuss decisional authority in relation to pregnancy and birth.
Breech Options Webinar
When a baby remains in a breech presentation late into pregnancy, families are often not presented with options other than cesarean section. I will discuss all options, including planning a cesarean, vaginal breech birth and external cephalic version (ECV), and the risks and benefits of each. Understanding what each pathway involves is key to making an informed decision.
Birth Stories Webinar
Birth stories are so individual and diverse, but each deserves to be heard and celebrated. Join us to hear stories showcasing how varied the reality of birth after cesarean can be.
VBAC Facts Webinar
Join us for a Q&A with Jen Kamel, founder of VBAC Facts, as we answer ICAN community-submitted questions about labor and birth after cesarean.
Birth and the Law Webinar
During this webinar with renowned lawyer and advocate Hermine Hayes-Klein and midwife-lawyer Wendi Cleckner, you will learn more about navigating through advocating for yourself and others in the birth space.
