Re: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...
Hi Tania, If she joins up with www.birthlove.com, it costs $29.95 I think, they offer a free online doula course. It is pretty good. They have a topic a month and you can also access the archives. Otherwise, tell her to jump on www.joyousbirth.info as she will find an abundance of great info there.

Shed be fine with something online or via correspondence, but doesnt really need to do the full doula course. Ive suggested she attends some of the fine active birth workshops here in Adelaide that are run by the local yoga centres, and that appealed too. Any other ideas?

RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...
If her friend is birthing at a hospital I would suggest she attends classes with her friend. Personally I don't think formal classes are necessary, just tune into inner self and feel comfortable with whatever is happening. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tania Smallwood Sent: Saturday, 20 January 2007 9:26 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...

RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...
Tanya has your friend thought of having a midwifery student follow her as well. As midwives we should be advocating student midwives for all birthing women.

RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...
Thanks for that Sharon, this woman will have the services of a professional independent midwife at her side, as well as obstetric input, and her friend, and to be honest, I don’t actually think she needs a student. While I too advocate students for many women, in this instance, I think it may complicate things for her. She will have plenty of love and support, but unfortunately, as she won’t be arriving here in Adelaide until shortly before the birth, so she won’t have the opportunity to build a relationship with a student, thanks for the suggestion though :-) Tania _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sharon Sent: Saturday, 20 January 2007 10:28 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...

RE: [ozmidwifery] short doula/labour support courses...
