Mentoring Doulas: Positive Hospital Birth

Did you know that 98% of women in the United States will deliver their baby in a hospital? Why is this an impactful statistic for doulas? In this episode, Micah shares her passion and conviction about doulas being able to confidently support an expecting family within a hospital setting. There’s a difference in supporting in this environment as opposed to a home birth or birthing center. If you’re an expecting parent, this episode will give you clarity on what to look for in a doula if you’re wanting a more natural childbirth-friendly experience in the hospital.

It’s time to see childbirth in a different light. Micah Burgess is the owner & founder of Waco Doula and has recently published a book called, The Humor in Birth; Stories & Insights from a Doula. People are looking for light-hearted & enjoyable in their lives right now. This podcast will take something very sacred, monumental, and at times traumatic to a fun, delightful, and normal place. The generation that is having children is information hungry and they find it in YouTube channels, Instagram, and podcasts. Pregnant women are constantly researching so they can be more prepared for birth. This podcast will not only give them the knowledge they’re craving but will do it in a positive, humorous way from an expert in childbirth; a doula. Everybody wants to know what a doula knows. This unique spin on presenting childbirth makes it approachable, normal, and positive.
