INFORMED CONSENT is the process of making sure a person fully understands what they are agreeing to BEFORE giving PERMISSION for something to happen.
It means that consent isn’t just saying “yes” or “okay”. The person needs to have ENOUGH INFORMATION to make an educated, VOLUNTARY decision.
Just because they TELL you they’re going to do something does mean you have let them. Ask them “WHY?” Ask them “WHAT DOES THIS DO?” Ask them “WHAT OTHER OPTIONS DO I HAVE?”
Do not EVER be afraid to ASK questions. It is YOUR body, and YOUR baby. Neither of you belong to the system.
