  • Advocate

    You are your own best advocate. We discuss advocacy skills that will improve your overall ability to speak up for yourself and your family, when needed.

You Shouldn’t Have to Fight for Your Rights in Labor

If you’re here, chances are you have an idea of what you want for your birth—or at least what you don’t want. But knowing what you want and making it happen in your birth setting can feel like two completely different things.

Maybe you’re a first-time mom, excited but also a little nervous, wondering:
What are my actual choices in labor?
Will my doctor respect my birth plan? How do I even know what to ask for? Or maybe you’ve been through this before and thought: I wish I had known more the first time;
I felt rushed, pressured, or dismissed;
this time, I want to feel in control... We're going to help you prepare so you are in control, confident, and ready for your birth!

FAQ

  • Is this legal representation?

    No. Mother Informed is an educational company, not a law firm nor a substitute for an attorney or law firm. Our goal is to minimize legal disputes, but should an issue arise, we help members locate attorneys to assist them.

  • Is this education applicable nationwide?

    Yes! Much of the information is based on federal law and ethical guidelines, applicable in all states. There are areas where state laws differ and we highlight some of those differences in our programs, as well.

  • Who will this education benefit?

    The courses and memberships are for anyone interested in legal education surrounding birth and motherhood. Whether you're trying to conceive, an expecting mom, a new mom, a growing family, a partner, a companion, or a birth professional, this is for you.

  • I'm already taking a childbirth class. Do I need this too?

    Your childbirth class teaches you how birth works, our courses show you how to advocate for it. Our courses helps you plan, communicate with providers, and stay in the driver’s seat — even when the system pushes back or circumstances change. We help turn the vision for your birth into a reality.
