📌Save this for your next prenatal visit or care provider interview.
Here are 5 must-ask questions for your next provider interview. If they don’t measure up, remember it’s never too late to switch!
1. Consent is Key 🗝️: Always ensure they ask for your permission before any physical contact. It’s about respect and your autonomy in every interaction!
2. Vaccine Transparency💉: They should willingly disclose vaccine ingredients and respect your decision, whether you opt in or out. Informed choices matter!
3. Flexible Testing Options 🔄: A respectful provider offers alternative methods for gestational diabetes testing and other procedures. Your comfort and preferences should guide their suggestions.
4. Freedom to Move🤰: During labor, moving freely and choosing your birthing position can impact your experience significantly. Your provider should support this autonomy.
5. Informed Decisions 📚: Expect a breakdown of benefits, risks, and alternatives for all treatments and procedures. Knowledge is power!
👉 If your current provider isn’t ticking these boxes, it’s time to find someone who does. Your health, your rules! 💪 ParentingTips 📌 Remember to Save
I remember feeling so surprised in my third pregnancy when my midwife @holly_the_nurse_midwife did all of these things and more to show respect for me. Every pregnant woman deserves this type of care and respect.
