Informed consent! Ask ask ask

Reminder, you can ALWAYS ask questions.

Unlike the wild legal fight of a Florida woman we saw making the rounds a few months ago, most facilities will accept your autonomy - even if there's some pushback.

Discussion and respect is how we have safe birth without unnecessary trauma. Doctors, midwives, nurses who practice with respect will have these conversations with you to help you make informed decisions and understand if there's a true medical concern.

What questions did you ask in labor?

We love this old reminder (popped up on memories) from Voice For Parents.

Even the best and most skilled midwife, nurse, OB, etc., cannot guarantee a birth outcome. However, skill and consistent positive support can make even the most difficult birth empowering rather than traumatic.

When choosing a care provider for your pregnancy and birth, it's so important to choose a provider you trust.

Believe it or not I still get this questions ❓

Did you know a doula and midwife are NOT the same? A doula is not a replacement for an OB.

A doula provides NON-medical support. A midwife is instead of or works alongside an OB. They provide prenatal care, take vital signs, monitor pregnancy and fetal development, and ensure safety during birth.

While doulas help improve birth outcomes, this is not done through medical care. Doulas help improve outcomes by providing prenatal education, continuous labor support, and directing parents to their medical providers for any concerns.

Midwives vary in exact role and definition location to location, and there are multiple types of midwives, but they're all equipped to be your main provider instead of an OB or work alongside OBs. Midwives offer continuity of care throughout your perinatal period, but might be caring for multiple people in labor, similar to an OB.

Doulas are NEVER a replacement for having a midwife or OB present at your birth.
