Ep 03 - Maternity care in the USA with Jamee & Alan Crooks

The Better Birth podcast is hosted by hypnobirthing and antenatal teacher Erin Fung. You can find out more about Erin at www.better-birth.co.uk. The Better Birth podcast has gone international! In this episode, I speak to fellow Little Birth Company hypnonbirthing instructor, Jamee Crooks, and her husband Alan.  Mum of 3 Jamee lives in the US, and in this episode we discuss how the US healthcare system influences opinions and choices for birth, the differences in maternity care in the US and UK, and how this is changing. Alan, a national political consultant in the US, gives his own personal views and experiences of hypnobirthing and the effect it had on the birth of their own children, as well as insight in to how dollars influence birth. Jamee is the Global Ambassador for the Little Birth Company, as well as a postpartum trainer.
