This week is BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK 🙋🏿♀️🤗🎉🍼👶🏾 Too many women are still dying in childbirth in this present age of technology. It’s this status quo that midwives and doulas say they are trying to change through awareness. 😘🍼👶🏾🎉🙋🏿♀️ Sistahs, there is a feeling of empowerment that having a birth where you are fully aware and able to participate. When you are not under the influence of medication, the bonding between you and your newborn child is heightened. I had 3 of my 9 at home and can bear witness to it! 👶🏾🍼🎉😘🍼🙋🏾♀️ As a holistic doula of color, I help moms prepare for birth and motherhood in different ways. Most times, I'm sharing tips from my African ancestors on pregnancy which includes increasing her intake of Vitamin C to boost her energy, drinking protein shakes for strength and making use of castor oil during her delivery to help with the contractions. 🙋🏾♀️🍼😘🎉👶🏾🤗 More BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK Information all week long.
