Kelly Rowland Watched Over Friend Giving Birth to Ensure Hospital Wasn’t ‘Careless with Her Life’ (Exclusive)
Kelly Rowland, who has partnered with BirthFUND in the wake of heartbreaking statistics surrounding Black maternal mortality rates, opens up to PEOPLE about watching her friend give birth and caring for her amid her delivery.
Ahead of Mother's Day, Rowland tells PEOPLE it's an issue that was top of mind recently as she helped tend to a pregnant friend. For Rowland, who gave birth to both her sons, Titan, 9, and Noah, 3, at a hospital with the help of her husband, Tim Weatherspoon, and a doula, she's grateful she had a positive experience. Rowland feels strongly that having additional support like that of a midwife, a service that is not currently covered by most healthcare providers, can help achieve better outcomes for birthing mothers.
