Is Informed Birth Preparation for you?
The short answer is YES!
Informed Birth Preparation is for you. You have the Right to be informed.
Informed Birth Preparation assumes nothing and prepares for anything.
It is a process of careful and well researched birth preparations, allowing you to make informed decisions about your care. These decisions are then documented in your Birth Map.
The long answer is one about Dignity.
Have you ever heard that you should "leave your dignity at the door"?
What does this mean?
This was a bit of ‘sage’ advice I received when preparing for my first birth. I took it to mean:
don’t worry about being naked in front of strangers, because you are giving birth, and that is your focus…
however…the more I learned, the more I heard, the more loaded this simple piece of advice became.

What is dignity?
One online dictionary offers this:
The quality or state of being worthy of esteem or respect.
If your care provider does not treat you with respect, does not ‘allow’ you your dignity: find a different care provider.
Informed Birth Preparation helps you to identify the 'red flags', and choose the right care provider and support for you.
THERE IS NO ONE WAY.
