So many things to be said, and it all starts with
This is why... (fill in the blank)
Unfortunately, for the state of AR, there are so many NEGATIVE statements regarding maternal and infant mortality & morbidity that can go in that blank that this post will take ALL FOUR of the evers to flush out.

So many questions that I have, like-
What did maternal care look like for the number of births to decline?
Did we do our due diligence in researching why?
Did we truly try to fix what we found?
Did the population change or quality of care🤨

In conclusion, EVERYONE (in high places) who can positively impact "the numbers" knows "the numbers." However, for some reason, "the numbers" are still "the numbers." That is why doulas are important. That is why midwives are important. Because while EVERYONE else is talking about "the numbers", we are the boots on the ground working to ensure you can have the best birth possible.

Baptist Health-Fort Smith will shut down its services for pregnancy, childbirth, and NICU.

This book signing was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much, , for including me to be a part of and witness an important part of your journey. Your testimony was so powerful, and to see you stand strong to raise awareness is nothing short of amazing.
Like you said, so many mothers suffer in silence. These injustices happen, and sometimes nobody hears about them.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for being an advocate.

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to all of the doulas who have and are currently supporting growing families. It wasn't until right before I became a doula that I found out what doulas truly do, the space they hold, and the gap they fill.

Also, thanks to the doulas who helped me during my training and rookie years. Yall the real MVP for being so patient 😆 because doulas need doulas too.
