first birth
dear lord i am a tired girl. in the wee hours of friday morning i got called in to attend my first birth as a doula. i was there for 21 hours. it was.....surreal. maybe because i was tired. maybe because i have never seen a human baby born....just pig babies and goat babies.
my other mama is having early labor contractions now. it makes for a rather hectic schedule....being on call while working the farm. next time i may try to space my clients out a bit more.....2 in one week is a bit trop.
congratulations on your first birth as a doula!
ReplyDeleteKate that's amazing! Congrats on your first birth as a doula :) (exactly what Laura said)
ReplyDeleteHow can you be a doula w/o ever seeing a human baby born? No disrespect, just wondering. Love the blog... read the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteHi Elise, No disrespect taken! I was and still am a doula in training. I work as a doula for free as I still only have a year of experience and I want to do it for experience with birth as I would like to someday pursue my studies in midwifery. Thanks for asking and thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm just reading through your blog now (found you via Bleubird) and I'm also a doula <3 Loving your site!
