Next Episode: REWIND: The Dates Add Up

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.

NATAL is a collab between You Had Me at Black and The Woodshaw. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
