Doula night

I went to a Doula Night on Tuesday -- basically an educational meeting on training and mentoring doula's. A doula is basically a birth coach and advocate, hired by the pregnant woman to assist her during birth, to be her support, and so forth. Every pregnant woman that I see in my office I tell them about doula's, and really encourage them to hire one. I wouldn't suggest anyone go through a pregnancy without one!

I learned some new things and met some new people, which is always nice. Two of the larger doula organizations out there are DONA and CAPPA, so google them if you want more info. Plus I can recommend some names to anyone in this area, if they are ever interested. Keep that in mind if you or someone you know is pregnant!
