What is a birth advocate?
Not a doula. Not a nurse. A legal presence.
A birth advocate is a trained legal professional who attends your labor with one job: to protect your rights. They aren't there to make medical decisions, they're there to make sure you understand what's being asked of you, that your consent is always explicit, and that if something goes wrong, there's a clear record from someone with legal standing.
Reviews consent forms in real time
Before you sign anything, your advocate reads it and explains it in plain language.
Speaks up if something isn't right
If a procedure is pushed without your consent, your advocate can intervene, calmly and legally.
Documents everything
Timestamped notes with legal standing, not just a personal record, but one that holds weight if you ever need it.
