Trish is excited to welcome Dr. Rebecca Dekker to the podcast! Dr. Dekker is a PhD, RN, and the founder of Evidence Based Birth®.
Dr. Rebecca Dekker had a traumatic birth experience when she trusted doctors to do what was best for her, and was shocked after finding out the care she got was not evidence-based. Doctors advised restricted food and drink, bed rest, and an epidural, only to end up with a vacuum-assisted delivery and separation from her newborn baby.
For her second child, she opted for a midwife-assisted birth, even though it was illegal in her state. She’s now looking to change parents’ mindsets during pregnancy to question if the care they are being provided is the right one for them and what alternatives they should have access to.
As a RN for two decades, she’s experienced firsthand (as a nurse, researcher, and mother) that routine care in hospitals is not tailored and can even be harmful at times.
The conversation centers around empowering women through education and understanding during childbirth.
This episode highlights critical topics such as the importance of finding your voice, individualized birth plans, and the significance of evidence-based care and informed decision making.
Also covered are common concerns around inductions, particularly for gestational diabetes, and how to engage confidently with healthcare providers.
They emphasize the value of a supportive birth community and continuous learning for both parents and birth practitioners.
