You do not have to stay with a provider that isn’t aligning with you. You hire them to provide a service and if you don’t like their service… FIRE THEM! #saynototoxicrelationships #firethem #patientrights #birthteam #thehoodmidwife #informedconsent
True preeclampsia is a medical emergency which requires treatment and is only “cured” by the birth of the baby, so induction is often indicated.

Dads are NOT doulas, and birth is NOT an illness. With the proper care and support, MOST low risk birthing families can have a healthy, safe, uncomplicated, out of hospital birth. Support is KEY! #blackmidwife #orlandomidwife #homebirth #birthcenter #blackmamasmatter #callhim
