Question 4

Why did The Laborhood start?

Accepted Answer

The Laborhood Podcast was born of our passion for people getting the best care that we can provide both in and out of the labor room. We have seen first hand how the ball is dropped in a multitude of facets  including miscommunication, miseducation and practitioners simply lacking the wherewithal to practice professionally. The difference that we were making in the rooms, and on the units just wasn’t enough, and we realized that the breakdown was happening prior to our patients’ arrival. We wanted to create an informational space for folks to be prepared before their visits. Thus, “The Laborhood” was born!
