00:00A doula. A doula training initiative. A doula. Helping expectant parents is more than a job.
00:05In Indiana, we have a very high infant mortality rate. Third worst in the country for mothers dying around pregnancy.
00:15Do you know what a doula is? I believe that a doula is...
00:19Well, I think so. Is this to do with...
00:23I think a doula is someone who...
00:27But they specialize in, I think, the holistic way of bringing life into the world. Is that...
00:34I knew a little bit about doulas. I more so have seen postpartum doulas.
00:39I never had a doula, but in 2020, things changed.
00:46I thought that I was safe. And I wasn't.
00:52One baby's too many, is what I say.
00:55I was terrified of being by myself.
01:01If I would have went to sleep, I would have died in my sleep.
01:06We had a pile of dirty blankets on the floor.
01:08And they're like, she can just use those until she goes to her other room.
01:11But it would have been a couple hours of her sitting uncomfortable.
01:15She said, I called him three times.
01:16And she said, what do I do?
01:17I said, make them listen.
01:23I think doulas give hope.
01:29Doulas speak life to them.
01:33The statistic that really blew me away was up to 85% of those deaths are preventable.
01:39So I wanted to give them somebody.
01:49We do it not because we are driven by money.
01:56We do it because we are driven by the calling.
02:01Just like that.
02:02Just like that.
02:03Keep that.
