ABC - Hypnobirthing expert calls for standardised antenatal program in Australian hospitals
“Australian hospitals each deliver different antenatal education programs and now one birthing expert is calling for a more standardised approach.
Hypnobirthing Australia director Melissa Spilsted would like to see a standardised, evidence-based antenatal education program introduced across all Australian public hospitals.
"Every state is doing their own thing, every hospital is doing their own thing," she said.
"They're all running their own individual antenatal program so we don't have consistency across the board.
"They're not standardised and they're not evidence-based."“
