looking for suggestions for childbirth posters

Published

we need some posters for our ldrp's on alternative positions for l/d like squatting, using the birthing ball, etc. so our pt's can better understand just what we are trying to get them to do. any suggestions? we just can't quite find what we want. does anyone have any great posters on their unit? thanks in advance!

great web site in oregon, w/all kinds of birthing products, books, and yes, posters. Their customer service is outstanding and I have enjoyed getting products/books from them for a year now. Good luck!

I used to work in print, and noticed that large hospitals usually have an in-house artist, or even a whole art dept. to handle hospital publications. If your hospital has such a dept., maybe they can design one for you. If they can't find art maybe they could shoot some digital photos of nurses demonstrating the positions, or hire a pregnant model.

Try the Childbirth Graphics catalogue, they usually have some great posters from time to time re: positioning, birthball use, etc.
