E11. Understanding Assisted and Instrumental Birth | Consultant Obstetrician Aamna

Understanding Assisted and Instrumental Birth  The concept of an assisted birth is an anxiety provoking one amongst most pregnant women and many are desperate to avoid the use of forceps of ventouse instruments during their birth. However instrumental assistance is currently used in around 1 in 8 UK births and so it is imperative women are informed and empowered about them.  On this week’s episode I am joined by Consultant Obstetrician Aamna to discuss the ins and outs of assisted and instrumental birth, to help you realise that it is not something to be afraid of and that an assisted birth can still form a hugely positive birthing experience.  When the lovely Aamna is not chatting to expectant mums or supporting birth on labour ward she can be found on Instagram @aamnasasanow Extra Stuff: Follow Midwife Pip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Check out Midwife Pip’s website - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get access to my free courses → https://www.midwifepip.com/free-pregnancy-courses Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  Learn more about your ad choices.
