Advocacy During Labour: Own Your Birth with Confidence
Labour is unpredictable, but one thing should always remain constant: your voice matters. Advocacy during birth ensures you’re heard, respected, and in control of your experience, even when plans change.
Why Advocacy Matters
Your birth experience is yours, but hospital protocols and unexpected situations can sometimes challenge your preferences. Being able to confidently communicate your wishes helps you make informed choices that align with your needs.
How to Advocate for Yourself
- Create a Flexible Birth Plan – Outline your preferences while staying open to adjustments.
- Educate Yourself – Understanding labour, interventions, and your rights empowers you to make informed decisions.
- Use Your B.R.A.I.N. – Ask about Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Instincts, and the option of doing Nothing before making choices.
- Lean on Your Birth Partner – Your partner plays a key role in supporting and advocating for you.

About bitbaby
While you’re here, we’d love to tell you a bit about us.
A regular pattern of movements is a key indicator of your baby’s well-being during pregnancy.
Women don’t always know how to recognise a regular pattern of movements for their baby and don’t know what they should be checking for. This leads to increased anxiety. When they do think something isn’t quite right, they don’t feel confident and they doubt themselves so don’t seek advice straight away.
We’re developing a device that will monitor your baby’s movements during pregnancy from 24 weeks onwards so that you can have a better understanding of your baby’s regular pattern of movements.
