The presence of a doula during pregnancy and childbirth is valuable for all mothers but especially beneficial for Black mothers who face disproportionately high rates of discrimination, and poor outcomes compared to non-Black mothers. Many Black mothers feel that they are not given enough support and respect during childbirth. A doula, in particular a Black doula, can provide an extra layer of comfort, advocacy, and respect during this time. This directory, the largest of its kind, has been designed to help Black families find doulas that look like them and who understand the unique challenges, experiences, fears, and concerns faced by Black families. By having easy access to qualified Black doulas, Black mothers can be more empowered to make decisions about their birth experience and take control of their health care.
As part of Baby Dove’s commitment to helping close the gap in care and health outcomes for Black expecting mothers, birthing individuals, and their babies, Baby Dove is launching The Black Birth Equity Fund.
