Investigating Birth

As a doula, I help women navigate their birth experiences and the maternity system. As a birth writer, I ask questions about that system and try to answer them.

The American Dream? I thought so, until I had a baby and no maternity leave. https://t.co/2lK4Lmex9A

Holding my applause for eBay’s new paid leave. New moms get 6 months, but new dads only get 3. Why? https://t.co/4JSSctsYpT

Women who know their bodies can get help faster when there are problems. Don't be afraid to speak up! You know your body best! #WellnessWed
