Synopsis
Determined not to become another statistic of the Black maternal health crisis, Janeé Washington and her husband Josh choose the rare option of hiring an experienced midwife and doula and planning to give birth at home, away from the hospital and all of its interventions. But the baby has other plans. This is the story of the birth of one baby, with its family caught between two very different approaches to childbirth.

Share your birth story
As part of our project, we are inviting community members in the San Francisco Bay Area to share their birth story in their own words as part of a Born for This podcast series. If you have a story to share that you think other first time mamas could benefit from hearing, please indicate your interest here. Every birth story is valid and illuminating, but we may not get to them all, as we are a small team. Thank you for your interest.
