Hi all,
I just wanted to share that yesterday I went to my first birth as a
trainee doula. I have done most of the theory work now, and that was the
first of my 3 qualifying births. It went GREAT! Induction, but she
managed a natural drug free, QUICK birth (she went from 4cm to delivery
in less than 90 minutes).

I was particularly happy that one of the main things the mum wanted was
to be kept informed, and in part from my reading on this list I found I
was able to explain all the medical terminology flying around her in
layman's terms that she could understand. It really helped keep her
anxiety down because nothing was wrong, but whenever someone said
anything she didn't understand she immediately panicked that there was.

I loved it, and would love to do another next week!!, but unfortunately
have to wait until the birth I have booked in March. I also need to find
one more before my own baby is born in May (otherwise it will be ages
before I qualify because a newborn will make doing births impossible!),
so if anyone knows anyone between Newcastle and Sydney who wants a doula
for free I would love to know about it!
