THThis is a GREAT post by @themindfulbirthgroup and shared by our sister platform @all4birth 🙌 How do you discuss risk with the women, people and families in your care? Do you use absolute language (there’s a 0.02% risk) or relative language (your risk doubles) Do you prioritise sensitive, evidence-based communication and individualised, woman-centred care?
Do let us know your thoughts! 👇💜

Reposted to support informed decision making • @themindfulbirthgroup Understanding the numbers behind a situational risk is SO important. Like the most important thing you can do. Like ever! Double the risk or a 100% increase is not helpful when the starting number was so tiny- we need numbers people!!
Be ready to ask ask ask!
Your options and ensuring you have all of the information you need to make informed decisions about your care is just one of the vital topics we cover on Mindful Birth courses.
