The Cascade of Interventions: What You Need to Know w/ Alba Birth Center

The cascade of interventions can be scary to think about when preparing for birth and making choices during labor. The best way to combat fear is education, which is why we were excited to welcome Katie and Aubrey back onto the podcast to discuss what the cascade is and the secret weapon that can combat it: choice.

In this episode, we discuss:

What is the cascade of interventions (aka intervention snowball)
Incredible ways your brain shifts during the birthing experience
How the cascade typically starts
Common interventions within the hospital space vs the midwifery space
Why Pitocin increases the intensity of labor
Home birth/birth center to hospital transfers: signs for when it's appropriate and what to expect if it happens
A good question to ask when offered an intervention
How Alba's childbirth education classes can help you feel confident & informed about interventions
