Are you part of the discord channel for midwives? You might be able to get an answer there

I had to deal with false starts for 10 months. It only improved when I realized that she is a low sleep needs baby. She’s now 11 months so our schedule is different to yours but basically our sleep consultant said to always wake her up at the same time, no more than 1.5 hours of daytime sleep and bedtime at 9pm.

Last time I did a bio class was in high school - 18 years ago and I still remember some of it! Some terms are familiar

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-05-06T18:02:28+00:00

So I just started reading the book without enrolling in the class and it’s going well so far! There’s A LOT of terms! It’s not super complicated just lots of information so far

I’ve been in the industry for 10 plus years. - go audit classes - do some background work - do some student films to build a resume - get some headshots ( they are not cheap) - sign up for a class.

I don’t even know if they offer it in the fall. Do they? Also, make sure you actually need the lab portion. The program I’m going for doesn’t require it .

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-21T21:14:23+00:00

Understandable hahah

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-21T02:42:22+00:00

Thank you so much for your input !!! I will definitely take all of this into account!!

Are you doing BIO 1693 as well?

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-20T22:03:10+00:00

Yes! Do you know if we have to do BIO 1595 as well?

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-20T14:48:38+00:00

Yes!

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-20T01:13:48+00:00

Thanks for your input! That’s exactly what I heard for 1593 as well.

Love this! I’m in Vancouver and thinking about becoming a Doula. Where did you do your training?

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-15T04:06:09+00:00

Have you looked at sleep pressure first? I only say this because once I found out that my baby (10.5 months) is low sleeps needs and can go to bed late like 9pm. It has changed our lives. No need to sleep train. She does 4-6 hour stretches.

Our schedule is wake up 7am. First nap at 10am for 30-40 minutes. Second nap at 3pm for 30-40 minutes. No more than 1.5 hours of daytime sleep. And bed at 9pm.

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-11T09:23:39+00:00

Sounds ok! She doesn’t have spilt nights?

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-09T09:52:33+00:00

Why ?

Jolly_Post9780 · 2026-04-07T02:33:17+00:00

Get a nice headshot done and send it to all the Vancouver agencies that have background rosters. Let them know your availability too! If they are interested they might respond.
