I want to give a huge shoutout to @kate_white for such an AMAZING JOB she did for us, as our Doula! I’d admit, I truly did not understand the services of doula and why we needed one. But upon more research: Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women – and this disparity increases with age, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). My wife @jasmineansah and I wanted to make sure we had a strong Birth Team! And Katie was an Integral and vital piece to our birth team! She made us feel comfortable and she help us understand the process, came to our house and helped us labor at home for a bit, rode in the car while Jas was laboring for support and also advocated for us when we had to make a decision during the birth process and gave a us another prospective. Katie also captured moments of the birth process we will cherish for the rest of our days! She went as far as writing Afia Marie’s birth story as a letter to her and got her a book called Ada Marie that reminded her of Afia. To say we were pleased to have her as a birth support will be an overly understatement. If you a need doula please contact @kate_white @denverborn
