In this solo episode I am starting a mini-series on Informed Consent. What it is, why it's important, and why it is so crucial for us as consumers to do our due diligence when it comes to all the decisions we make in life (especially our healthcare decisions).
I know this is a niche topic, being that approximately 15% of women in the United States and 17% in Europe are Rh-, and this is still a topic that many of us can appreciate as it is a small glimpse into how so often the ones who are selling us the solution made the problem in the first place.
If you are an Rh- mama like myself who did not give truly informed consent, I see you. I pray you give yourself grace as you listen (as I remind myself every time I talk on RhoGAM) and that I did the best I could with the information I had.
