A woman in labor should be attended to like the queen she is. 👑 #birh #doula #htxdoula #htxdoulas #houstondoula #homebirth #hospitalbirth #birthcenter #childbirth #naturalbirth #queen #newmom #motherhood #maternity
Repost @houstondoulacoop ・・・ Did you know that it's Black Maternal Health Week? So what's the problem, I'm asked all the time. Let's see, my clients of color are asked if they have enough groceries, a place to live, and a partner who does not abused them, about 75% more often than their white counterparts, regardless of economic status, Insurance status, or employment. My clients of color are more often turned away/dismissed from ERs when they have postpartum concerns ( and some of them were life-threatening when they received the second opinions or insisted on staying) My clients of color are more often physically handled during labor by nursing staff, ignored when they tell the staff to stop or that they don't consent, or told to quiet down when making labor noises. My clients of color are more often told that breastfeeding doesn't work out for some women and provided formula/coupons my hospital-based lactation Consultants and educators. As a white skinned doula I support and understand why women of color would want and choose midwives, Obstetricians, doulas, Etc. who share the same color skin as them as they understand the day-to-day struggles and systemic racism of this country more so than I ever could. As a white skinned Doula, though I promise that I will always fight for my clients of color who choose me as their doula to be treated fairly - to be treated well - to be treated like a partner in their own healthcare. #BMHW19 #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #houstondoulacopperative #htxdoula #htxdoulas #houstondoula #houstondoulas 📸 @wombmancrush
