What’s the difference between a midwife and a doula? Listen in to find out,.

Obstetric Violence contributes to birth trauma, and difficult birth experiences which in turn contribute to difficult early parenting experiences.

Some of the categories of obstetric violence include:

• Physical abuse

• Non consensual care

• Non Confidential care

• Non dignified care

• Abandoned or neglected care

• Discrimination

• Detention against the person’s will

• Lack of privacy
