How Can Advance Directives Affect Pregnancy and Childbirth?
During pregnancy, advance directives can address concerns such as the use of life-sustaining treatments in the event of complications that threaten the life of the mother or fetus. Women can specify their preferences regarding pain management, delivery methods, and interventions in case of emergencies. By having these directives in place, women can reduce the stress of decision-making during critical moments and ensure their wishes are prioritized.
