Midwifery School is INTENSE | What I have learned along the way
Feb 10, 2018

I can not write in blogger brain and that's hard because I have been blogging/journaling for so long. It was a challenge to try and thing around it. But I managed to do it. Many papers started with "I don't know how to write in APA and this sucks."

How to pay for your doula with a Health Savings Account (HSA)
Jul 21, 2017

In the age of technology paying for a doula has become so much easier.  It's no longer just cash and checks that you need to mail out or meet up for, many doulas accept payments via credit card and paypal now as well.  While doulas are not covered by most health insurance plans.  Doulas can be paid for with HSA (or FSA) accounts.

An Interesting Option for Pain Relief | TENS Units During Labor
May 23, 2017

When I bought my TENS unit and began using it at births it became apparent to me how useful it was.  Not only does it help provide relief and comfort, but I can still use all my other tools in addition to it. Since buying it every one of my clients has asked to try it and my they have LOVED IT!

Will you still be a doula?

Of course!!!  That is the other great thing about MCU.  I can take on doula clients and not stress about being on campus several days out of the month.  However I will only be taking on 1-2 clients per month instead of 4 to be able to dedicate more time to my studies.  Exceptions will always be made for repeat clients because, how can I not?  I adore you all.

I ate my placenta.   

Eiw gross right?  Who does that?   

Most mammals actually. 

Your knee jerk-reaction is okay.  Really...I am not offended.  I had it too.

Doula Scams? Creepy Phone Calls? Birth Fetishists? Oh My!
Feb 12, 2017

It starts out great.  You are super excited about an inquiry from a potential client.  And then this weird feeling hits your gut after you begin talking to them for a bit, and before you know it you get the heebeejeebees and trying to figure out how to back out of this conversation you seem to have been cornered in.

Did my water break or did I just pee my pants?

I mean, that could happen at this stage right?  As, I waited for my co-teacher to come back and relieve me for break it kept happening.  Either I lost complete bladder control and needed to start wearing adult diapers or my water just broke.

6 Questions to Ask a Doula During an Interview
Dec 10, 2016

Birth and postpartum are some of the most intimate and vulnerable times of our lives.  It is important to invite people into that space that we trust and feel safe with.  Hopefully these questions will help give you an idea of what kind of doula you want to hire.
