Soon you will have a scan and see your baby and it will all become a bit more real :) Email me if you want to chat about anything. Doulas are fabulous resources for all sorts of information, even if you decide you don't need one for the actual birth. I'm so excited for you!!!

I was saying... <br /><br />It's lovely to read that you were so pleased and honoured to be part of the birth, when of course they must have been so pleased to have you there too. Bringing that calm and support to someone at one of the most pivotal moments of their lives is quite a skill and I can see why you'd want to do it as a career - it sounds like an amazing experience.Imperfect Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086807062993117102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184797463035335640.post-52511184976665823722011-03-16T10:49:17.059-04:002011-03-16T10:49:17.059-04:00Hi Hayley!

Sometimes this is because on a previous occasion they have been left on their own / partners left on their own / children left with no care, sometimes it is to help with the first breastfeed after surgery, many reasons. Every birth should be supported and if you felt you wanted someone there for you I am absolutely positive you would find many doulas willing to help! <br /><br />Here are some links:<br />http://anthrodoula.blogspot.com/2011/02/doula-for-your-cesarean-section.html<br /><br />http://www.mamasonbedrest.com/2010/05/doulas-are-for-women-who-have-planned-cesareans/<br /><br />If you want more info then email me through the 'get in touch' link on the Doula Services tab :)<br /><br />xxLinzW1976https://www.blogger.com/profile/02908970904829724545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184797463035335640.post-70602009505819672842011-03-16T08:47:17.705-04:002011-03-16T08:47:17.705-04:00Aw wonderful!
