Next TPG Meeting 06/27

Speaker: Brett Iimura Time & date: Thursday, 27th of June 2024 at 11:00 - 12:00. Topic: birth intervention rates in Japan Info: Brett Iimura, the director of Childbirth Education Center (CEC), has taught continuously in Japan since 1996, including having expanded to online classes 10 years ago, way before Covid! Having taught over 2000 couples from more than 75 countries to date, she has collected data on women's experiences of birth in Japan, including the fact that women in her classes have had approximately half the rate of episiotomy as is typically seen in Japan. We will briefly discuss rates of interventions in Japan and strategies for navigating the system to find the support needed for the kind of birth you are looking for. We will then have an open discussion time for any and all questions birth related! Location: Zoom (link will be sent out shortly before the meeting to those who reserve their spot)
