It was the stark contrast between the birth options available to women in the UK and those in Portugal that compelled me to found the Portuguese Birthrights Association. I now volunteer with the organisation, working to make human rights in pregnancy and birth a reality in Portugal. I truly believe that everyone deserves an empowered and positive birth experience\u2014and that there is no single \u201cright\u201d way to have a baby.
