Evidence Based Birth on Due Dates with Dr. Dekker

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Hosts Caitlin and Sophia chat with Dr. Rebecca Dekker from Evidence Based Birth.

Evidence Based Birth® was founded by Rebecca Dekker, a mother of 3 and registered nurse with her PhD, who got fed up with how the system treats birthing families.

As a first-time mom, Dr. Dekker experienced birth trauma when she was separated from her newborn baby for three hours after giving birth. In contrast, she felt awed and empowered by the respectful and evidence based care she received at the home birth of her second child. After several years of writing at Evidence Based Birth® and working as a nursing professor and research scientist, Dr. Dekker found the courage to leave academia and focus on advocating for change full-time.

Today, the Evidence Based Birth® Team has grown to include research scientists, birth workers, and advocates from around the world who are passionate about safe, respectful, evidence-based, and empowering care!
