This week we’re at home with Alexius Hill, a Memphis-based young mother who chose to give birth at home despite her family and friends’ concerns about doing so. We discuss the stigma around home births, and explore the radical work of full-spectrum doulas and the ways they strive to provide quality perinatal support for all birthing parents.
In this episode we mention: Homebirths, and their costs, safety and legality; Positive home birth outcomes for low-risk birthing parents; Full-spectrum doula practice; Charlie Monlouis Anderle of Nourishing Seeds Doula; The NATAL Summit
