Birth Advocacy

Birth advocacy refers to the support and promotion of women's rights and informed choices during pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Advocates, which can include doulas, midwives, and educators, help expectant parents navigate the healthcare system, ensuring they receive respectful, evidence-based care. They aim to empower individuals by providing information about options, potential risks, and benefits of different birth practices. Birth advocacy emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy, informed consent, and emotional support, ultimately striving for positive birth experiences that align with each individual's values and preferences.
