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:

If you want to reach out to either of us please feel free to send an email to [email protected] or you can find Aryel at IG -@centraclcoastlactation or Brittany on IG - @beyondthebumpcoaching
