[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# birth

Birth, childbirth, parturition, labor and delivery all refer to the transformative process of giving birth to a new baby. Everyone giving birth has the full range of human rights, including the right to bodily autonomy, to be treated with care and respect, to make informed choices about our births, and to access high quality midwifery and/or obstetric care.
