EBB 65 - Navigating the Hospital Birth System with Midwife Afua Hassan

EBB 65 - Navigating the Hospital Birth System with Midwife Afua Hassan

In this episode, I interview midwife and Evidence Based Birth Professional member Afua Hassan. Afua has practiced as a midwife since 1984. In 2011, she expanded her home birth practice and founded The Birthing Place, Houston's first freestanding birth center owned and operated by a black midwife. The name "The Birthing Place" was chosen by Afua in response to her observation that many women felt that they needed a hospital and a doctor to deliver babies. In her practice, Afua's philosophy is that the mother is the captain of the birth, the partner is the co-captain, and she - as midwife - is the advisor. As of today, she has assisted in nearly 1200 births.

We discuss Afua's initiatives to educate women on the hospital system and the medical model of care, as well as the steps she is taking to support the women in her community.
