We are called to create in times of distress. Enjoy this video and important message by .

April 11-17 is Black Maternal Health Week. This past year has been abysmal. But maybe there's greater visibility on reproductive injustice and calls for accountability. ๐Ÿ˜ข

Black birthing people deserve to be heard, respected, and receive quality medical care without bias. That's not the reality for most, regardless of age, social economic status, educational attainment, etc.

For some families, they are choosing to birth outside of hospitals for fear of becoming a statistic or a viral traumatic moment, further underscoring the disparity and attack on reproductive rights.

Many advocates have concluded "doctors are to Black women what police are to Black men". *Insert medical industrial complex / prison industrial complex* Where is the lie?

If you're a BIPOC person researching providers, check out the Irth App . Read reviews and share your feedback on care providers. That's a gift that could save a life or reduce birth or postpartum trauma.

From the intake specialists to ultrasound technicians, to the nurses, physicians, specialists, surgeons, pediatricians, legislators - be intentional in providing culturally competent care. Your bias is showing.

โญ๏ธ

"Black Maternal Health Week isn't just awareness. it's advocacy, education, and honoring the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of Black motherhood in every stage ๐ŸคŽ From pregnancy to postpartum, every story matters and every mother deserves to be seen, heard, and cared for.

This piece is a visual love letter to Black women who create life, nurture it, and continue to show up even when the world doesn't show up for them the same. Protect Black mothers. Listen to Black mothers. Celebrate Black mothers.

In order to sustain as a birth worker, doulas must set boundaries. They must also check in regularly and assess to what degree they're able to show up for existing and prospective client families. Being on call or being in service to families can be exciting and depleting at the same time. Doulas strive for excellence in their professional interactions, but they're people too!

Did you know many doulas only provide services for a few years. This high turnover rate among the birthworkers exists for a number of reasons.

However, grassroot movements are trying to reduce burnout by advocating for equitable pay, respect in birthing environments, and providing community scaffolding for doulas' wellbeing.

Always remember: Advocacy begins with self. Take care of you first!

โญ๏ธ

"We need to talk about something that's quietly impacting your birth experience:
Doulas are burning out.

Too many doulas are emotionally exhausted, underpaid, and feeling disrespected.

And you might be thinking--what does that have to do with me?

Well your support system can only pour into you if they're not running on empty.

So don't just ask: "Do I have a doula?"
โœ…๏ธ Ask: "Is my doula supported in the place I'm about to give birth?"
โœ…๏ธ Ask your doctor: "How do you work with doulas?"
โœ…๏ธ Ask the hospital: "How does your staff collaborate
with doulas during labor?"

This isn't just about doulas. It's about your safety, your
voice, and your experience

Because a supported birth is a safe birth. And your birth deserves a team that works , not against each other.

They caught the babies. They stayed with the families to provide comprehensive maternal-infant care. They served underserved communities.

Before integration of the US healthcare system
Before medical credentialing
Before transit access to hospitals and doctors

Granny Midwives did the work!

They stood in the gap for families in need of expert medical care during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early infancy. They set the standard for the quality of (w)holistic care birthing and postpartum families deserve.

Together, we stand with in remembering and honoring the legacy of the giants who lift us up as birthworkers, educators, herbalists, and lactation counselors. Because of them, we are!

Fun Fact: LABP owner 's lineage descends from the Deep South. Her paternal great grandmother was an African-Indigenous Granny Midwife.

Comparison is a thief.

๐Ÿชž Comparison to your former self / selves
๐Ÿชž Comparison to others
๐Ÿชž Comparison to a distorted social media paradigm

Your beautiful growing body is the first home your baby will ever know. Your body provides warmth, comfort, protection, connection, oxygen, nourishment.

Created with heaps of love just for you, Happy Love Day! ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿซ‚

โœจ๏ธ For days when you need a need to shake unwelcomed comments about your body, speak "Love Affirmations".

โœจ๏ธ For days when you feel unproductive, read "What To Do". By doing nothing but living, you are building an entire human!

โœจ๏ธ For days when you feel overwhelmed taking care of your body's needs, read "Build & Grow Lufe" and "Weight Breakdown". Your body requires a lot to grow a baby and sustain your own life. Give yourself grace.

**** If you suffer or have ever suffered from body dysmorphia or an eating disorder, please seek professional mental health support. Pregnancy can make you more vulnerable to intrusive thoughts.
