When your doula client who is planning a community birth needs a transfer of care, you are often the one constant. Smooth Transitions works to build better collaboration between community midwives, hospital providers, and EMS when a transfer of care happens, and doulas are a vital part #BirthEquity

What if children don’t simply deserve what they’re born with?

Child-First Theory asks whether political equality requires meaningful empowerment from birth.

What does a “Fair Start” mean?

It means looking at the conditions children enter the world with and asking whether those conditions give them a meaningful opportunity to thrive.

Justice begins at birth.

Justice begins at birth.

The conditions a child is born into can shape health, education, housing, safety and climate resilience.

If we want different outcomes, we have to examine where those outcomes begin.

Every child deserves a fair start.

Doulas improve outcomes. The evidence for this is strong and growing. But to keep building that evidence, the work doulas do needs to be visible in the data.

The state insists on violent, oppressive rulings on birth centers and midwives as an Alabama appeals court recently stated the state can license freestanding birth centers as hospitals, overturning a previous block and subjecting them to restrictive hospital regulations.

We can also improve maternal health outcomes and promote #birthequity, through investments in community-based organizations and initiatives (such as freestanding birthing centers, community-based doulas, and midwives).
