Abstract
This poster summarises the findings of a systematic qualitative evidence synthesis on freebirth - the act of giving birth intentionally without a qualified health care professional being present. The study found 22 publications and drew themes of formal healthcare systems being felt to threaten reproductive self-determination, whereas freebirth is seen as a way of protecting this and further as a form of self-care.
