A Baby on the Way: Ep. 3. Informed consent - your rights in birth

from Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond · host PBB Media Incorporated

This episode covers informed consent and the legal need for all decisions relating to maternal and foetal care to be in the hands of the mother, not the care provider. We learn that like all other people, pregnant woman has the right to informed consent and that once informed, their decisions must be respected. The information given birthing people must be evidence based and not just hospital policy or common practice, otherwise this could be viewed as coercion and not consent. Featuring lawyer Bashi Kumar-Hazard and academic Bec Jenkinson.Produced and presented by Sally CusackCopyright 2017 PBB Media and Sally CusackAll rights reserved.www.pbbmedia.org
