[REBROADCAST] All About Doulas With Keisha Graham

I'm spending time with family this week for Thanksgiving, so this week's episode is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes. Enjoy! Do you know what a doula is, what they do, and how they can help you during your pregnancy & labor? There are a lot of misconceptions out there about doulas, so I thought it would be helpful to chat to a doula and get an inside look at their work and all the things they do for pregnant women. Our guest for this episode is Keisha Graham, who has been a doula for almost a decade and is also the community manager in the All About Pregnancy and Birth Facebook Group! Keisha and I talk about what doulas do, how to choose them, and how doulas can support you and your partner during labor. She also talks about why she thinks everyone deserves a doula and why you should get one as early in your pregnancy as possible. In this Episode, You’ll Learn About: What a doula is, what they do, and how they can help you in all stages of your pregnancy Where to find a doula no matter where you are  Three questions you should ask before hiring a doula  Why it's a great idea to hire a doula as early in your pregnancy as possible How a doula can work well with your partner during the birth Common misconceptions about doulas and what they do What to consider when coming up with your budget for a doula  How Keisha uses her skills to help people of color, and especially black women, get the treatment they deserve in the hospital system Keisha's top advice to any pregnant woman Links Mentioned In The Episode How To Make A Birth Plan That Works - Free Online Class!
