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

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

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. When I work in antenatal clinic that is one service that I offer all women at first visit some take the offer others don’t. cheers sharon

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
