I've written 18 books now.
Several of them are designed to help women and families to understand the evidence so they can make the decisions that are right for them.
And I sometimes think that this might be the most important sentence I've ever written.
Your birth decisions and experiences are nobody's business but yours.
You have the right to make the decisions that are right for you and your baby.
No matter whether that's to do with where you give birth, who you have with you or what you want going on around that.
We need to ensure that ALL birth decisions are respected.
No-one should be hassled, groomed, shamed, coerced or bullied about pregnancy and birth decisions.
Before, during OR afterwards.
This quote comes from my book, "What's Right For Me? Making decisions in pregnancy and childbirth."
That and my other books have helped tens of thousands of women and families for more than 20 years.
If you need information on induction of labour, plus size pregnancy, Anti-D (RhoGAM), group B strep, vitamin K, placental birth, or any other birth decision, I have a website full of information at www.sarawickham.com
I also have books on each of these topics, which are written to help you make the decisions that are right for you.
Your body. Your baby. Your decisions.
It's the simple 💜💜
