πΆπ½ Doula Baby 186 - Baby A - This birth was very emotional for the family and for me as their Black Doula. π€π€π€ Oftentimes itβs overlooked on how much Doulaβs have to encounter from educating the families that we serve all the way to helping change systems that werenβt set up with us in mind. What was unique about this birth is Baby A was born with 6 fingers on both handβs ππΎ and 6 toes on both feet π£ 1/21 Thanks for allowing me to support you during this journey. ππ©΅π©· www.milestonecreations.org
