Birth Without Fear

Medical intervention in birth and fear of birth have become routine in U.S. culture.  The cesarean rate has risen steadily for over a decade, with a 32% cesarean rate by 2008, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This episode explores overcoming fear of childbirth and cultivating positive consciousness about labor and birth.
Guest: Risa Lynn Klein is a CNM who provides holistic Midwifery Care and Education in New York and New Jersey.  She is trained as a Bradley Method Natural Childbirth Educator, and breast-feeding consultant and received her MS in Nurse Midwifery from the Columbia University school of Nursing.
