YOUR RIGHTS IN PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH ARE HUMAN RIGHTS! It is a fact: Portugal is one of the European countries with the highest rates of instrumental deliveries, episiotomies, and C-sections.
Nowadays, there is increasing talk about obstetric violence, but despite the growing attention from society, one question remains: how can we save pregnant women from a traumatic birth experience if they lack the information to realize they are being misled?
The answer is in this book. Authored by Mia Negrão, a lawyer and founder of the Nascer com Direitos (Giving Birth with Rights) project, this book aims to lift the veil on the major problems related to current obstetrics and stimulate critical thinking in people, especially pregnant women, so they can make informed decisions for themselves, their births, and their babies.
The autonomy of pregnant women is still viewed strangely by institutions and health professionals in our country. But something has to change. My Birth, My Rules is the first step to inform and find a solution to eradicate obstetric violence in Portugal once and for all.
"Knowing your rights in pregnancy and childbirth is a feminist issue and a form of resistance to the patriarchy."
