Vaginas Are Magical with Kim Durdin
It's Black Maternal Health Week and the Mamas have brought in Kimberly Durdin who is a Licensed Midwife, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Childbirth Educator and Doula Trainer, Plus she's a mother of six and grandmother of five! She and business partner Allegra Hill are co-owners and co-founders of Kindred Space LA, South LA’s only Black-owned Birth Center and hub for midwifery care, doula support and training, lactation consulting, education, parenting support group, enrichment and movement. So needless to say, she knows a thing or two about maternal health! Kim is here to give us some of the details about birthing that we just don't know. Things like the difference between a doula and a midwife, or what's better pain meds or natural? Should we as Black women be avoiding hospital births? We're not saying Kim has all the answers, but this is definitely a starting place for anyone who is asking questions!
