How you can advocate for yourself in the birth room.

Hi friends! Aryel and I are talking about advocacy and how to advocate for yourself in the birth room. It can be intimidating to think about standing up for yourself, or declining procedures or interventions during pregnancy and birth. We chat about different ways you can do that and what can help make it a bit easier for you. 

Here are some great resources you can read on to give you guys additional information:
