birthing person

noun

Definitions

  1. a person who has the ability to give birth (or has had it)

    • Black trans/gender nonconforming birthing persons are more likely than cisgender women to seek a home birth, but they may face particular challenges in finding medical personnel who respect their identity and reproductive choices.¹⁶
    • Dads can feel ignored or shunned from the grief experience, particularly in the hospital environment, which can feel entirely oriented towards the care of the woman or birthing person.
    • Even if you don't manage to make a difference in a particular scenario, it can make a bit difference to a woman or birthing person to know that they had you as an advocate, supporting them and their interests.
