[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are [b]tons of women flooding the doula market [/b]because they become "fascinated with birth". The pay is not great on a per hour basis to start with, and it's becoming even more depressed because of volunteer doulas trying to break into the market. Very few can make a full time equivalent income and it's not even a family friendly job due to the unpredictable nature of birth. [/quote] OP here. Oh, good. Hopefully the new doulas flooding the market will create more competition and drive out the bad eggs like the one I hired, who missed my entire birth because she couldn't get out of bed. I'm open to other suggestions - I'm not even necessarily looking for a full-time career, just a way to use my knowledge and a desire to help people. Maybe some other kind of birth worker?[/quote]
