Quarantine Edition: Fundamentals of Doula care & changing your birth plan amid COVID 19

Quarantine Edition: Fundamentals of Doula care & changing your birth plan amid COVID 19

Education is power and can truly save lives.  Black women are dying at disproportionate rates during labor and delivery as well as unnecessary c-sections.  It is time we educate ourselves and each other.  Not everyone knows what a Doula is and many think it's a new thing.  Some have heard of a Doula and think it is out of reach to them. Doulas are a mother's advocate before, during and after labor.  

In this episode, I have a very informative conversation about giving birth during a pandemic with my friend & family, Raven Dorsey.  This is a great episode for women expecting and the village that supports them.  It's time we know the options we have available to us.
