Media Review by Midwifery Today

“Adapted from the book Errand of Angels: Responding to Unexpected Childbirth, by Charlene Campbell, this book and video are used for training students who will assist with birth. Using demonstrations, photos, and step-by-step instructions, these two midwives take us through the stages of birth and post-delivery. Normal delivery is covered, as well as variations on normal, including long labor, breech position, shoulder dystocia, and cord around the neck. Also addressed are postpartum hemorrhage and baby not breathing. With a section on role-playing for various scenarios, this book and DVD would make a great addition to training materials and libraries of all fire departments and EMT services. It even includes cards that can be cut out and included in a birth kit, and birth certificates.”

Reviews

Labor & Delivery Training for Low-Resource and Emergency Situations is an amazing learning tool for parents or practitioners alike! The DVD and manual are great for expectant parents or anyone attending birth, as it helps to dispel so much of the cultural fear that affects our responses to the natural flow of birth. This training set is specifically helpful for those who will be assisting women in out-of-hospital settings during any kind of situations, including precipitous birth, pandemic, post-disaster civil unrest, or other emergency settings. It offers wisdom on how to honor the sacred design of birth and to support the mother and baby in the safest way. I highly recommend this wonderful film and manual for groups or individuals who desire to learn basic, simple skills of responding in physiologic ways to the natural process of birth for the best possible outcomes.

The tools and principles taught in Labor & Delivery Training for Low-Resource and Emergency Situations help even the most novice individual feel comfortable with birth. This set will be your go-to on how to assist a birthing woman in an unexpected low-resource, or disaster setting. It covers beginning labor through birth and placenta, and how to handle each situation confidently and peacefully. Also, there are tools on how to handle challenges that can arise in normal birth in a peaceful way without causing harm to mother or baby. As a midwife, I will recommend this set to my clients. This is a great supplement to childbirth education.
