Episode 8: #butnotmaternity Campaign in the UK with Abbi

This is a Zoom interview with @themotherlovingdoulauk Abbi Leibert. We discuss the benefits of having a doula and what a doula is. We then discuss the hashtag campaign #butnotmaternity and how things are constantly changing in the NHS and what you can do to work with them for the best possible birth, in the current climate. Hear how Abbi and other doulas got together and created something amazing that is changing NHS regulations and attitudes across the uk.
