Bringing Care to Life
Three more videos complete our normal childbirth series
Our videos on childbirth showcase a midwifery approach to care with a birth attendant working solo, the norm in small facilities in much of the developing world. Three new videos cover the birth and early postpartum period. Birthing the Baby shows how to assist a mother to safely birth her baby and minimize tearing of the vagina. Managing the Third Stage of Labor shows how to use medicine to prevent postpartum hemorrhage and how to deliver the placenta. Our final video—The Birth: Labor, Delivery, and Early Postpartum—shows best practices for the full birth sequence, starting with labor through to immediate postpartum.
The videos are available in English, French, and Spanish, and may be downloaded free-of-charge from our video library.
