International Home Birth was on June 6th. I take the time to talk a little bit about home birth, my position and ask you some questions on what you would like with your future, or current birth experiences. The options are endless and we talk a little about the stats provided by the Association of Ontario Midwives. https://www.ontariomidwives.ca/home-birth-safety

Let's talk about Informed Consent. What are your choices? You have options and don't let any HCP bully you into something you do not want to do. 

C-section Awareness Month is a way for mothers to know more of their options and to make them aware of the reasons why a c-section might be needed. I would highly suggest doing your research and making sure you have an open connection with your midwife and/or doctor to make sure you still have the choices in your birth!
