found this Blog of a doula and it found this fantastic acronym for the women to think what they want for their delivery (excellent questions to put to your service provider to health)
B - what are the potential B enefits of the action?
R - R which are baits arising from such action?
A - what are the The lternativas this action?
I - what my ntuição I suggest?
N - which can happen if you do decide N ada?
Use your BRAIN!
Aqui está o texto original:
BRAIN is a simple acronym to assist you in the decision-making process – whether it be “Should I get the quad screen test?” during pregnancy or “Should I get an epidural?” during labor. Unfortunately, there is a “standard of care” with many providers which makes a series of tests and interventions routine - without considering the specific needs of the individual.
In order to achieve more personalized, individual care, A Birth Smart woman asks questions.
B ~ What are the potential BENEFITS of the action?
R ~ What are the RISKS?
A ~ What are some ALTERNATIVES to this action?
I ~ What does my INTUITION suggest?
N ~ What happens if I decide to do NOTHING?
When it comes to birth, emotional benefits and risks can also play a huge role in the outcome and should be considered. Also remember that the preceding questions produce very different answers if you ask an anesthesiologist vs. a natural childbirth instructor vs. your best friend. You should consider where the information is coming from and the biases that it may carry. It’s about who you are, who you trust, and making the best decision for you and your baby.
