In this episode we get to talk about a topic that impacts ALL of us, yet we don’t often discuss how it influences us. Clothing! As a birth worker, this topic comes up quite a bit. What to wear to a birth? What do you wear with clients during a meeting pre or post birth? What is professional enough/vs too much?
There are several things that we get to consider: ease of movement, is it water resistant? Do I look too much like the hospital staff? Do I look professional enough? Are there enough pockets? Does your clothing help identify the role you’re playing? Can it get dirty?
