This week on the podcast we’re starting to talk about trauma-informed birth care with our host, Maggie Runyon, RNC-OB and our full original podcast team:
Pansay Tayo, Doula 
Ray Rachlin, CPM, CLC
Angela Mike, DNP, CNM 
Abby Dennis, MD
In birth care we have the opportunity to support someone through one of their most transformative life experiences. It is our responsibility to create trauma-informed spaces for everyone in our care.
We are discussing how and when we became aware of trauma-informed practices, the different types of trauma we encounter, specific steps we take in our care practices to reduce trauma, and our goals moving forward to create a perinatal healthcare system where trauma experiences are rare, rather than present in 1/3 births.
Here are some amazing resources with offerings of trainings to educate birth professionals on creating more trauma-informed care practices:
Birth & Trauma Support Center with Krysta Dancy
Dr Sayida Peprah
Mandy Irby, The Birth Nurse
Eri Guajardo Johnson with Birth Bruja
