Celebrating Choices

Do you know you have choices when you’re pregnant?

You can choose where you give birth.

You can choose what tests, exams you do or don’t do.

You can choose who your care provider is or isn’t.

You can choose if you want students or not.

You can choose your nurses.

You can choose your support people.

You can choose all the best things for your birth and still not get the birth you want, But if you chose right, you can still be respected, heard, treated with compassion and loved! In the end how you were made to feel, and treated before, during and after labor you will always remember. Even if things dont go as planned which happens in life, you can still be empowered to make the best choices for what happens.
