I've wanted to be involved in births since I was 12. I had a feeling that something was wrong with our birth system and I wanted to help but didn't learn what a doula wa until I was pregnant at age 29

I was thinking of making cloth pad starter kits to sell as add ons to my upcoming doula business. I made lots of cloth pads and I ended up making so many I have enough and so I should sell them since I like making them so much

That’s a great idea! We as Doulas need to add little things to our business.

Tapping can work great with mindfulness or as a mindfulness technique. I like to do it slowly. There are good anxiety relief practices in the book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by H. Daniels also. Thanks for this.

Thank you. When a baby is born in Bangladesh ( in the 70s) the whole town would rush to the house to help the mother give birth. Sometimes a hospital is too far or not necessary because participation of doctors were after the 60s in the USA to make money. My paper was about unnecessary C sections. I learned that natural childbirth is painful and it should be the opposite. Where we have the technology to make it painless. Yet women feel they'd like to suffer. If I was a Doula I wouldn't let those training classes or certification company use me by charging me money for something natural.

Hello! Yes she is absolutely perfect. I had a very easy labor. But she was almost 10 pounds. Don’t think that had anything to do with the Doppler though lol. I definitely understand your concerns. But I would just pray on it.

Thank you so much for this! Random question: I noticed you have long painted nails...is this something you have around clients? I love having manicures and long nails but wondering if I will have to give this up because some doula clients might not like it?

How to breath, how the sensations feel like pressure and it’s ok. How the team will support her during that time. How the room is broken down for pushing and the energy changes etc .. so sorry for the late reply I did not see it!

@theladoulaamandadebacker5 ай бұрын
I’m sorry! KZbin just showed me this comment. I hope your birth went great!personally I would tell them about my experience with mothers really affecting the way they birth. Because that moment they are children with their mothers instead of the new MOTHER they are becoming. I had my mom at one and not at the second. Essentially, I felt her being at the first really made no difference …because I was in my own Birth world anyway. I would encourage them to have Family come after with food and perhaps sit with baby while they sleep! So many other important moments we need them.

I let them borrow books (ina may's guide for childbirth and birth partner for example), For postpartum I give them a little bag of goodies (healthy meal replacement shake in powder form that I love myself), electrolytes, mother's milk tea, honey sticks, and yes I take a meal or at least fresh fruit or snacks. I still have to make some of the padscicles!
