[quote=Anonymous]I trained as a volunteer doula many years ago in another part of the country. We studied a lot, and attended births in teams to train. I didn't have time to continue, because I had no one to watch my toddler on a moment's notice. The hours are rough. A number of women I've known went into it because they believe that women can be supported through birth with fewer interventions. These women burned out very fast, trying to deal with medicalized births and hospital rules. Your best bet is to talk to area doulas. I know when I was looking to hire one, she tried to talk me into coming to work for her.[/quote]
