Drill Kit

Birth In Place: Girl Scouts / Good Samaritan

This Drill Kit tests the community response to a birth occurring unexpectedly in a non-clinical community setting. The scenario includes prompts and guidance for an uncomplicated, precipitous vaginal birth of a healthy newborn. 

Learning Objectives

  • Know steps to calmly call for help if the baby is coming.
  • Practice techniques for supporting someone in labor.
  • Give practical help when the baby is born and just after.
  • Help maintain warmth and safety after the baby is born.
  • Review ways to promote dignity, equity, and person-focused care during emergencies.

This drill kit is appropriate for:

  • Student groups, scouting groups, and other community organizations
  • Non-clinical personnel who interact frequently with pregnant individuals (e.g. doulas, childbirth educators, administrators)

And may further engage:

  • EMS or other emergency transport partners
  • Labor & Birth unit and other relevant units at the referral hospital

To test the process of:

  • Facilitating “birth in place” and arranging postpartum transport of the parent(s) and baby
  • Initial care and stabilization without direct clinical care
