To be able to make a good deci­sion con­cern­ing place of birth, OB/GYN or/and mid­wife and birthing method it is impor­tant to col­lect infor­ma­tion and to be aware of all choic­es you have in preg­nan­cy and birth. Knowl­edge about your rights as a preg­nant and birthing woman strength­ens your posi­tion in con­ver­sa­tion and con­flict with doc­tors, mid­wives and clin­ic staff to enforce your demands and ideas. As par­ents-to-be you are clients and you can accept exper­tis­es, advices and assis­tance, but also have the option to choose freely and deter­mine which med­ical (rou­tine) mea­sures you or your baby will under­go. Ide­al­ly you are sure of what you want and what you don’t want in advance.
