[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Choose a black ObGyn. If you're lucky you'll get a black L&D nurse. I think hiring a doulas is a great idea, too. Don't ever be afraid to speak up for yourself and your baby. [/quote] This is a great idea, but I'm sure that subconscious bias still exists in AAs. Just as women still have plenty of ingrained misogyny. I might be direct if I felt that I wasn't being listened to. "I need you to listen to me. I am telling you [this] and I'm worried about [this]." I think with all the news coverage about this issue, it may trigger some recognition in care providers.[/quote]
