No means no

Yes @avivaromm! Do you know how many births I’ve attended where providers just tell the patient what will happen? No conversation, no explanation! Or how many times I’ve seen a provider put their fingers inside of a patients vagina without evening asking.... If you are pregnant please know that you are in control! Ask questions. Say no to things you don’t want. This is YOUR experience and you are in control. This is why birth can trigger so many people, especially if you are a survivor of sexual abuse. #yourbirth #sayno #askquestions #hireamidwife #homebirth #birth #trauma #traumahealing
