"RIGHTS DURING PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH ARE HUMAN RIGHTS! It is a fact: Portugal is one of the countries in Europe with the highest rate of instrumental births, episiotomies and cesarean sections.

Nowadays, there is increasing talk about obstetric violence, but despite the growing attention given by society, one question remains: how can pregnant women be saved from a traumatic birth experience if they do not have the information to understand that they are being deceived?

The answer lies in this book. Written by Mia Negrão, a lawyer and founder of the Nascer com Direitos project, this book aims to lift the veil on the biggest problems related to current obstetrics and stimulate people's critical sense, especially pregnant women, so that they can make informed decisions for themselves, their births and their babies.

The autonomy of pregnant women is still considered a strange thing in our country in the eyes of institutions and health professionals. But something has to change. Meu Parto, As Minhas Regras is the first step towards informing and finding a solution to eradicate, once and for all, obstetric violence in Portugal.

«Knowing your rights during pregnancy and childbirth is a feminist issue and is a form of resistance to patriarchy.»"
