Advocacy in Childbirth
Advocacy in childbirth refers to supporting and promoting the rights and preferences of expectant mothers during labor and delivery. It involves ensuring that women receive respectful care, are informed about their options, and can make choices that align with their values and needs. Advocates, which can include partners, family members, or professionals, work to communicate effectively with healthcare providers and help navigate the healthcare system. This advocacy aims to create a safe and empowering birthing experience, recognizing that each woman's journey is unique and should be honored with dignity and autonomy.
