Doulas and caesareans – a video blog

June 7, 2018

Last year Sophie wrote an open letter to magazine editor Natasha Pearlman after she shared in the mainstream press about her traumatic first birth experience.  Now, a year later, Natasha is pregnant with her second baby and has shared her decision to have an elective caesarean birth in the Mail.  Sophie discusses how doulas support women like Natasha and how, contrary to popular belief, doulas are able and willing to support caesarean births.
