Episode 17: The Role of Doulas in Maternal Care with Elysia Douglas
Elysia Douglas is a labor doula, postpartum and infant care doula, childbirth educator, and doula trainer based in metro Atlanta. In this episode, she overviews what doulas are, how they serve women during pregnancy and postpartum, and how the pandemic affected her practice.
Listen to learn more about why it’s so beneficial for women to have a doula on their maternal healthcare team. COVID-19 has not stopped their work! In many ways, it has increased the need of their support! We also believe that black women could especially benefit from having a doula present during labor, delivery, and beyond as an additional advocate to combat inequity and implicit bias from birthing providers that could lead to increased risks of maternal morbidity and mortality.
