Birth Wizard
Dr. Helen Octavia Dickens is incredible.​​​​​​​​ She was born 1909 to a former enslaved father. She attended desegregated schools to receive better education. ​​​​​​​​ Dr. Helen would sit at the front of the class in medical school so that she wouldn't be bothered by the racist comments and gestures made by her classmates.​​​​​​​​ Dr Helen would go on practice medicine in the 1940’s primarily caring for the poor and underprivileged. ​​​​​​​​ One time she arrived at the home of a woman in labor to find that there was no electricity. The bed had to be moved so the delivery could be carried out using the light from the street. ​​​​​​​​ In 1946 became the first female African American board-certified Ob/gyn in Philadelphia.​​​​​​​​ Over the next twenty years, she rose through the ranks, from instructor, through to professor, culminating in her appointment as professor emeritus in 1985. By 1969 she was associate dean in the Office for Minority Affairs at the University of Pennsylvania, and within five years had increased minority enrollment from three students to sixty-four. At the same time, she served on the staff of the Woman's Hospital in Philadelphia and later, the faculty of the Medical College of Pennsylvania.​​​​​​​​ After leaving the hospital in 1967, Dickens opened a clinic at Penn that was devoted and specialized to helping and supporting teen parents. The clinic offered services such as group counseling, therapy, education, and prenatal care. ​​​​​​​​ Dickens did extensive research regarding teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, using her knowledge and results of her research to educate young mothers.​​​​​​​​ She also did a lot of work in cancer services and education. Dickens instigated a program, funded by the National Institute of Health, to carry out pap tests to detect cervical cancer. ​​​​​​​​ Did you know about Dr. Helen Octavia Dickens? ​​​​​​​​ Who would you like to learn about next?​​​​​​​​ Comment below!

Happy Black History Month!​​​​​​​​ Happy Black History Month!​​​​​​​​ Margaret Charles Smith, also known as "Miss Margaret" born September 12, 1906 was first introduced to midwifery around the young age of 5 years old. She happened to be present when the midwife couldn’t make it in time to catch the baby, so Margaret did what any future midwife would do... She caught a baby. It wouldn’t be until she was in her 30’s would she pursue a career in midwifery. ​​​​​​​​ In that era, "granny midwives" (aka lay African American midwives) were crucial to the lives of Southern black women because most hospitals wouldn't admit them as patients. It was also not a money-making career but one of grueling work and very little pay. Smith would often take $5-10 per birth or food as payment. She would trek through rural Alabama to get to her patients (sometimes wading through waters or navigating through crops/fields). ​​​​​​​​ The mothers were typically overworked and malnourished. She was known for her skills with twins, breech and premature babies. There were times she did up to 4 births a night. She caught over 3500 babies by the end of her career. Her incredible skill allowed her to lose VERY few babies and no mothers during childbirth. There is a story of Miss Margaret saving a one-and-a-half-pound baby by making an incubator out of a cardboard box and hot water bottles.​​​​​​​​ How incredible is that!​​​​​​​​ Greene County, knowing Miss Margaret skills and understanding the impact she had on their community issued a permit to all her to practice midwifery, making her one of the county's first official midwives. In 1976, Alabama outlawed traditional midwifery, but she was allowed to continue.​​​​​​​​ In 1983 Margaret Charles Smith became the first Black American to be given the keys to Eutaw, Alabama, her hometown. ​​​​​​​​ Have you read her book "Listen to me good"?​​​​​​​​ Have you heard of Miss Margaret before?​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Comment down below another inspiring individual I should highlight

I find this happens a lot with clients. Unexpected twists and turns happen with pregnancy and birth but what makes the difference is their attitudes in how they tackle those plot twists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love being a guide during those moments. Holding space so news can be processed, going over the information and dispelling any misconceptions, game planning the attack to the problem and leaving it out with a team rally... It's the good stuff.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you need someone to help you with problems and the attitudes with problems, summon me by using my linktree in my bio today for a consultation!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #disney #priate #carribean #problem #jack #captianjack #affirmation #team #plottwist #help #doula #support #birthsupport #guide #pregnancy #induction
Over the years, I have built up a good library of Over the years, I have built up a good library of birth books and resources. I not only built it up in physical books but also audiobooks as well. My clients tend to be busy people and sitting down to read a physical book can be a lot to ask for of them. The only reason is because being dyslexic it's so much easier for me to intake that information through audiobooks, videos and easy digestible information. I truly feel you shouldn't have to be an expert in birth to have a great birth (that's why I have already became the expert for you). If you want an expert by your side...
