Let's End Birth Disparities
Angela Phillips had been in labor for almost three days when her doctors began to pressure her to have a C-section.
There wasn’t a medical reason other than the fact that her labor had been long and didn’t seem to be progressing. She continued to decline the procedure. Then Phillips felt the doctors’ and nurses’ attitudes toward her change.
“I felt like I was under a microscope and couldn’t…

You may have heard of a birth doula – someone who provides non-medical support and advocacy throughout pregnancy, birth and after the baby has been born. More recently, so-called death doulas have became more popular. We are people who assist at the other end of the lifespan . We support good deaths. Death doulas can play a pivotal role in supporting a dying person and those around them. Their support can be emotional and practical.
We do many things. We can help develop a plan around the wishes and values of the dying person, advocate on behalf of the patient, attend to and manage their symptoms, conduct life reviews, and help to resolve unresolved issues for starters.
“When you change the way you view birth, the way you death will change.”
What I’ve observed as a death doula is most individuals have thee common…

The Importance of Having a Black Dad present during childbirth
Women and babies are the stars of childbirth, but dads play an important role, too. From massaging an exhausted mother-to-be's back, to reminding her of her strength when she is at her most vulnerable, a supportive partner can make an enormous difference.
There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that black fathers play a critical role in the development and well-being of their children. For example, black fathers who are involved in their children’s lives have been shown to have a positive impact on their children’s academic achievement, social-emotional development, mental health, and poverty levels.

“Birth is a rite of passage of women. Their journey should be honored, their rights should be fiercely protected, and their stories should be shared.” — Marcie Macari
Maternal health is more likely to be a matter of life or death for African American women, who often navigate a lack of medical access during pregnancy. Charlotte doula Kelle Pressley talks about her work delivering healthy babies…
