Hosted by Evidence Based Birth
This topic is important because the majority of expecting parents are offered a vaginal exam towards the end of their pregnancy to check the cervix, and sometimes a membrane sweep is performed during the same exam.
Attend this webinar in order to...
Understand the Research: Learn about the Evidence on Prenatal Vaginal Exams, the Evidence on Membrane Sweeping, and how to ensure you receive informed consent and advocate for your preferences.
Weigh the Options: Explore the benefits and drawbacks of both prenatal cervical checks and membrane sweeps.
Consider Alternatives: Discuss other options for those who want to avoid cervical checks in late pregnancy.
Bonus Advocacy Session: Participate in a role-play exercise designed to help you confidently handle situations if a health care worker suggests you don’t have a choice.
