I know this is huge. I had to copy paste my files. Please excuse the huge post.

Terminology- will help you familiarize yourself with many aspects of birth. Terminology can be very important when discussing issues with parents, peers or the birthing/medical community. This will be frustrating i know, i have done this. You will gain alot of knowledge while completing this. Most importantly you will know where to referr to when asked certain questians. NO you do not have to know everything, it will come in time. It is important that you know where to find and provide the proper information to your clients.
This info can be found in the required reading for this course.
