Send us a textIn today's episode, I am chatting with birth rights activist Emma Ashworth about the need to understand your rights in pregnancy and birth, in order to ensure that your plans for birth are not affected by the fear-based practice that we see in maternity services today. We also hear Emma talk about the current midwifery crisis in the NHS and how to navigate your birth options during this time. This episode contains some important truths regarding issues that pregnant women and people face when navigating the healthcare system. If you are pregnant and you want to wrap your self up in a bubble of positivity, then this episode might not be for you. SO please switch it off and perhaps listen to it another time. It is however an important discussion that highlights areas that many of us should be made aware of - in order to assert our rights if needs be during pregnancy, birth or the early postnatal period.You can follow Emma - @Emma_asworth_birth_rightsYou can buy Emma's book here - https://www.aims.org.uk/shophttps://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng192 - Cesarean section guidelinesIf you would like to buy a copy of the book that accompanies this podcast - click here:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner — https://bit.ly/LabourofloveOr purchase a copy via my website - www.birthability.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner @birthabilityBook a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresfordPlease remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guest, based on her own experiences as a mother.
