Advocating for Your Birth

How to Advocate for Yourself During Birth

You deserve to feel heard, respected, and involved in your care.

Ways to Advocate:

• Ask questions: "What are my options?"

• Take time before making a decision (ask people to step out of the room)

• Bring a supportive partner or doula

• Speak up about your preferences

Remember:

You have the right to informed consent and refusal.

Your voice matters.
