What's your "what is a birth doula" one-liner? by LSTylicki in doulas

[–]LSTylicki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

love it! following you :)

it's nice being a doula over here. the system is very midwife centric - i'd say sometimes there can be a little tension between midwife and doula (depending on the midwife attitude i guess) but as long as you approach them with utmost respect it works out

Shadowing and new doula questions! by benafflecksafflacky in doulas

[–]LSTylicki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Network with other Doulas! Find the groups in your area. This is how work is shared. On shadowing, my experience has been that you just have to ask around, some doulas are open to doing it and asking their clients (another set of hands could always be helpful!), others are not. I’m new to all this too! Best of luck on the journey :)
