class="content__text" UK Obstetrician Flo Wilcock shares her insights from the Lithotomy Challenge. Most US hospital births are in this position. Can we get a US #lithotomychallenge going? Trigger warning: Birth loss, birth trauma. Florence is a consultant obstetrician working in NHS maternity services and specialises in improving women’s experience of maternity care and working with midwives to support women with personalised birth preferences. Florence is also a lead obstetrician for perinatal mental health, has a joint clinic with perinatal mental health colleagues and a member of her local Maternity Voice Partnership. Florence Wilcock begins her TEDxNHS talk like no other. Reflecting on her years of clinical and personal experience, she shares stories, challenges the status quo, and most importantly, makes us smile, to uncover what is truly important about this life-changing experience. @FWmaternity@theobspod #positivebirth #midwifery #lithotomy #evidencebasedcare #cesarean #epidural #obstetrics #laboranddelivery #homebirth #antenatalclass #nhs #laborinduction #inductionoflabour #choice #tedtalk
