childbirth advocacy

Childbirth advocacy involves supporting and empowering pregnant individuals to make informed decisions about their maternity care. Advocates work to ensure respectful treatment, clear communication with healthcare providers, and access to evidence-based options. They help navigate complex medical information, address concerns, and uphold the rights of birthing persons. The goal is to promote safe, personalized, and positive birth experiences by fostering collaboration between patients and healthcare teams, reducing anxiety, and respecting individual preferences and cultural values.
