Safe and Respectful Maternity Care with ICI https://icichildbirth.org/series/safe-respectful-maternity-care/ Providing safe and respectful care should be the goal of all healthcare providers who attend births. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), the International MotherBaby Childbirth Organization, along with the International Confederation of Midwives, White Ribbon Alliance, and International Pediatrics Association have come together to create the 12 Steps to contain all the elements for the delivery of safe, respectful, MotherBaby-Family centered care. Fulfilling these steps is the goal of the International Childbirth Initiative. This series allows our guest speakers to explore these critical components of maternity care, hosted by Michelle Skaer Therrien of the International Childbirth Initiative Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:15:41 +0000 en-US © 2022 International Childbirth Initiative International Childbirth Initiative International Childbirth Initiative michellestherrien@gmail.com clean https://icichildbirth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Untitled-2.png Safe and Respectful Maternity Care with ICI https://icichildbirth.org/ yes dd5ffb9d-d00e-5d75-bbf6-61e75feab5e9 Step 5: Offer non-pharmacological comfort and pain relief techniques in labor https://icichildbirth.org/podcast/step-5/ Sat, 12 Feb 2022 16:00:32 +0000 https://icichildbirth.org/?post_type=podcast&p=776 epidurals,massage,natural childbirth,waterbirth clean no 51:52 No no Step 4 – Offer Continuous Support During Labor and Birth https://icichildbirth.org/podcast/step-4/ Sat, 05 Feb 2022 13:00:48 +0000 https://icichildbirth.org/?post_type=podcast&p=769 continuous_support,doula,labor clean no 35:35 No no Step 3 – Routinely Provide MotherBaby-Family Centered Maternity Care https://icichildbirth.org/podcast/step-3-routinely-provide-motherbaby-family-centered-maternity-care/ Fri, 04 Feb 2022 20:28:50 +0000 https://icichildbirth.org/?post_type=podcast&p=767 family-centered,midwifery,person-centered clean no 50:14 No no Step 2: Provide accessible and affordable maternity care – Mercy In Action https://icichildbirth.org/podcast/step-2-provide-accessible-and-affordable-maternity-care/ Wed, 19 Jan 2022 18:48:26 +0000 https://icichildbirth.org/?post_type=podcast&p=749 affordable care clean no 44:44 No no Step 1: Treat every woman and newborn with respect and dignity – White Ribbon Alliance https://icichildbirth.org/podcast/step-1-treat-every-woman-and-newborn-with-respect-and-dignity-white-ribbon-alliance/ Wed, 19 Jan 2022 18:13:13 +0000 https://icichildbirth.org/?post_type=podcast&p=748 birth,respect,respectful maternity care clean no 32:49 No no
