On episode 15 of the Birth Like a Mammal™ podcast, Lindsay chats with Brittney, the founder of The Wombsisterhood®'s Positive Pregnancy Journey. Brittney is an educator, a doula, and a Mother. She is the creator of Driven by Faith Doula Training and also hosts a private Facebook group for The Wombsisterhood®. Brittney stepped into birth work in 2015 specializing in physiological perinatal education, research, and activism, traditional birthing, postpartum doula support, and birth photography.
During this discussion, Lindsay and Brittney really focus on what the role of a doula truly is and is not. They also talk about where personal responsibility lies during pregnancy and birth. Lindsay shares her own journey in choosing to step away from supporting hospital births and Brittney relates in her personal experience navigating her role as a doula.
Lindsay and Brittney share a common perspective in how doulas ensure Mothers are the authority during pregnancy, labor, and birth as well as how important it is for all birth workers and Mothers to understand mammalian biology and physiology. They mention this is not always the case with home birth midwives, some of whom bring anti-mammalian practices and procedures to Mothers' homes.
