What is advocacy in birth?
Why would anyone need an advocate for their birth and during their birth experience?
This episode includes a discussion with Cáitlin Heavey, a birth doula and mentor, active birth and yoga teacher, birth educator and woman's health physio.
Our discussion includes
- how you might figure out what you'd like and not like for your birth experience
- why you might want a birth worker to support you during the birth of your baby
- how informed consent is dependent on where you get the information from
- working out your negotiables and non-negotiables in your birth plans
- partners and working out their needs during birth
- how advocacy changes between a home birth and a hospital birth
- thinking birth as an event that includes more than just a baby coming out of a vagina
- what are considered outcomes of birth, and the longlasting effects that are not audited as outcomes
