“Every woman has the right to the highest attainable standard of health,
which includes the right to dignified, respectful health care
throughout pregnancy and childbirth”.
Informed Consent and Refusal are legal protections within the laws of Human Rights. These rights are not nullified just because a woman is also making decisions for her unborn baby. You have the power to say YES or NO, accept or decline, any action suggested by your Birth care providers.
The history of Birth is a continuous conversation to be invoked as we navigate ancient and new ways of embracing Birth.
What is known and true, is that Birth is Ancient.
My hope is that the Birthing women come to embody the ability to honor, trust, and love their bodies as a gift of life to be cherished with reverence.
