I am a black woman and I had a black doula for my second pregnancy. It was the best experience of having someone support me in the delivery room when I had no family nearby, and all the medical staff did not look like me. I felt like I had someone advocating on my behalf when I was at my most vulnerable state.

You should combine non-profit and doula work. Make the government put some money into this through grants. This would reach people who normally would not be afford a doula and would normally receive horrible treatment in hospital settings.

@ADHDcutieSingleMama Год назад

growing up the D C foster care system, it is so good to hear from someone in that arena; I had a preemie baby when I was 36 years old. I originally started out with a certified midwife, but had to transition when i went into early labor with major complications due to pre-eclampsia. Thank GOD my midwife was allowed to attend the early birth with me, which made me feel safe and was extremely beneficial in decreasing my anxieties.

@mimandshaindy4906 7 месяцев назад

The concern is that it’s including language that ends up excluding women by erasing women. The feminist movement worked for over a century to include women in public discourse where they were historically excluded. I think the most inclusive language would state “women and all other birthing people”.

@mahoganyj3195 2 года назад

As a woman, I get it, but I think the title is just trying to be inclusive. A perspective to consider-If someone doesn’t identify as a woman for some reason (if they’re non-binary or trans) but still gets pregnant, they still deserve language that makes them feel comfortable and included during the already hard birth process.
