Over the years, Navigating the Maze has explored countless issues that challenge and frustrate childbirth educators and nurses as we work to advance normal birth, to ensure that all women have care that is evidence-based, and to change the culture of birth. Marilyn Curl has more than 30 years of experience first as a labor and delivery nurse and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, and most recently as a midwife. In her latest position as a nurse-manager of a family birthing suite, her experiences highlight the challenges, some quite insurmountable, that we meet when trying to create change in the current maternity care system. Her story provides insights into the challenges including what works and what does not and how we might increase our chances of success as we take on the challenge of changing the culture of birth and providing maternity care that is evidence-based.
