Hai's Birth Story | BirthWise Doula Services

Описание: Hai shares her journey of navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum in the face of rampant and dangerous misinformation versus the personalized, expert guidance of her doula, Toni Curtis. During this discussion, Hai recounts her experiences managing anxiety and stress during her pregnancy, frustrations with the lack of information given by her medical providers, and ultimately the joy of birth and witnessing how the "priceless" expertise of her doula significantly improved her birth outcomes.
