In this episode, we discuss recent events that have come to our attention and give our thoughts and feedback.
A recent case that has gained national traction involves the passing of a mother and baby. What can we do as doulas if we are in a situation where we don't see a provider meeting the standards of care? Speaking up can be difficult, yet helping clients advocate for themselves is an essential part of our role.
Some doulas have recently learned that their malpractice insurance will no longer cover homebirth. Coverage that was previously available has now been walked back. Doulas are understandably asking why and where to find coverage. On the heels of the recent homebirth tragedy in our extended community, we discuss some of the reasons why insurance companies are changing coverage.
Join us as we discuss these recent events and share our thoughts and feelings on these and other important topics in our work.
