Doulas?

I am pretty sure that to become a doula you have to attend a certain number of births, right?  I was thinking that I might allow mine to be observed if there were any doulas-in-training here.  I know medication-free births might be especially interesting, as mine will most likely be.

Anyone here a doula-in-training needing to observe a birth?

Re: Doulas?

  • I have a friend that is in nursing school, but she is looking to become a midwife. I know she would be interested. Can you pm me your info, and I will pass it on to her, and she can get in touch with you?

    TIA!

  • My doula was a doula in training and she did much more than just observe. She was awesome. I can get her info for you if you're interested.

  • My cousin is in training.  She offered to be my doula, but I declined only because I wasn't 100% commited to a natural birth and I felt like I might disappoint her if I got the drugs.  Turns out some support would have been great because my DH just clammed up and my midwife pretty much got me through med free.  She is in Nebraska City, but was willing to travel for mine.  She has had four kids herself.
  • Ask Summer, I know she was close to getting her doula license when I was pg with Mason so maybe she has it now.

    I would like to give preference to a Nestie.

    Shannon, I am due July 9. Tell me a little bit about where you are at in your training.

  • You have a PM.

    No, I don't.  PMs haven't gone through for me on the Nest for a while.
