The Earthly Birth Doula & Holistic Care

10/07/2026

It’s officially Nebraska Black Maternal Health Month!

Each October, we come together to move beyond awareness, and create positive experiences and maternal health outcomes for Black mamas and birthing people.

For generations, our communities have surrounded pregnant and birthing people with support through labor, delivery and postpartum. Our theme, “Our Traditions, Our Futures.” honors that history.

Granny Midwives carried this tradition forward, and it continues through the work of midwives, doulas and community health workers today.

This month, we’re making space to learn and talk honestly about what Black mamas need to feel supported.

Programming includes a history of midwifery exhibition and gatherings focused on community care.

✨Come experience it all!✨

Even if you’re pregnant again now ❤️ It’s hard to hold grief and celebration in your heart simultaneously, and how you manage that complexity is entirely yours to choose without judgment from anyone else.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. 🧡

Your pregnancy loss matters.

It matters even if no one knew you were pregnant, even if you never heard a heartbeat, even if you have other children, or even if someone told you "it happens to a lot of people."

No matter what anyone says, your grief is valid. You deserve support and compassion. You are not alone. 🧡

ALL Mothers and Babies have a right to care, regardless of circumstances 👏

There is a federal bill in Congress right now written for pregnant and postpartum women in prisons and jails.

In July, Rep. Ayanna Pressley reintroduced the Justice for Incarcerated Moms Act (H.R. 9817) with bipartisan cosponsors. It would fund doulas, perinatal care, and counseling for incarcerated mothers, support bonding and reentry programs, push states to end shackling during pregnancy and birth, and back diversion programs that keep pregnant women out of custody in the first place. It also calls for two federal studies, because the data on pregnancy in custody is still thin.

Diversion, connection, and care are the work MBB does every day in Georgia. The mothers we support do not have to wait for Washington, but a bill like this would mean many more mothers get this support. We will keep tracking it. 🩷
