Holding Space for High-Risk Pregnancies #049

Your BIRTH Partners

As we continue our season exploring how we hold space through the complicated parts of pregnancy and birth, we are turning our attention to how we approach the balancing act of addressing medical concerns AND holding space while supporting someone experiencing a high-risk pregnancy.
Our guest this week, Parijat Deshpande, is an integrative health specialist supporting those with a history of or currently experiencing high-risk pregnancies.
Tune in to explore these topics:
~caring for folks who have already experienced the hardest outcomes of pregnancy and birth
~navigating the juxtaposition of medical practice & holding space
~understanding birthcare on a theoretical level vs the benefits of lived experience
~learning about the gaps in how we learn to relate to patients in high-risk situations
~cultivating a balance between leaving space for folks to process new information without making them feeling alone as they navigate that space

~specific techniques for engaging clients through non-verbal communication & language awareness

~preventing trauma through actionable items that maintain agency

~preparing for transition from pregnancy to postpartum

~healing trauma and mistrust with self & system when approaching a future pregnancy
