Abstract:

Family members and other support people are an important part of the birth experience but what do we do when their behaviour is disruptive for the birthing parent? Family centered maternity care means caring not just for the person in labour, but also for those they have chosen to be in the birth room for support. Join us for an engaging panel discussion that will explore the potential reasons for disruptive behaviour from family members, the impact of the midwife’s own emotional regulation and helpful strategies for turning family members and other support people in the birth room into supportive allies.

Learning Objectives:

1. List 3 possible reasons why family members in the birth room may have trouble being supportive partners
2. Explain how the Midwife's own emotional regulation might impact the behaviour of family members in the birth room
3. Describe 3 tactics the midwife can use to address a family member's behaviour in the birth room to help turn them into allies
