10 signs it might be time to think about looking for another birth care provider...

1. You feel worried about asking a question

2. You ask them if you 'are allowed' to....

3. You don't feel you can say no without fear of having your care abandoned or being 'told off' or dismissed 

4. When you ask something directly you are left with the experience of being 'fobbed off'

5. You have the experience you are not given enough time

6. You are fearful of not being listened to 

7. You think 'well we've paid the deposit so I guess we have to stay...'

8. You leave each appointment with unanswered questions

9. You adjust your expectations of labour and birth because your care provider tells you it's to be that way...rather than because you feel it is right for you and your baby

10. Your gut tells you something just doesn't feel right...

It's never too late to change. There are always options. Your birth is with you forever...
