75: Your Birth, Your Way: Taking Back Control of Your Birth Experience
Have you ever felt like birth is something that “just happens to you”? That decisions about your body and baby are made without your full understanding or involvement?

- Why knowledge is the foundation of empowerment in birth.
- The importance of understanding your options, including common interventions.
- How to create a flexible birth plan that aligns with your values.
