UNPOPULAR OPINION: A doula who agrees with everything you say is not necessarily a good doula. 👀
My job is not to tell a mother what she wants to hear.
My goal is to make sure she has enough information to make an informed decision for HERSELF — even when that means holding her hand & saying, “Babes… we need to talk about this one.” 😂
I am VERY pro-autonomy.
I am VERY pro-homebirth.
I am VERY pro-women trusting their bodies.
But autonomy without information isn’t informed choice. I’m not going to scare you into a hospital birth.
I’m also not going to romanticize a homebirth when there are circumstances that deserve serious consideration.
I’m not here to replace your judgment with mine.
I’m here to help you sharpen yours.
A good doula should be able to support your autonomy without abandoning her own moral compass, education, or boundaries.
And THAT is one of the things that separates how I serve mothers.
Now I wanna hear from the mamas:
Would you rather have a birth worker who challenges you when necessary—or one who simply supports whatever you decide without questioning it? 🌚
