congrats!

I'm considering taking DONA classes in October but not sure if I'll have the money... I can make it work by slinging dd during the 3-day intensive class. I really want to pursue homebirth midwifery apprenticeship but thought doula'ing could be a good first step.

Aspiring, but not sure where to begin. So, I thought I could subb here and glean info.

Aspiring postpartum doula here!

Had one for two weeks following the birth of my first son. I had had a rotten birth, severe b'feeding difficulties, major baby blues, and no family/friends/support. This lady was a blessing to me on so many levels. "Mothering the mother" is so essential and so misunderstood in our present birth culture!

I can take my pension from my job in 5 years, in the meantime I have gotten the DONA and CAPPA requirements, and have started ordering/reading some material.

Good luck to us all!!!

I'm so excited... I'm looking at taking an assisting workshop with one of the local midwives. Nursing babies are welcome and all that stands in my way is coming up with the money. :

I'm a midwife in Texas that is moving to Michigan (Grand Rapids area it looks like) in the next couple of months and I would love to find an apprentice who would like to help me out. It would be a great experience to see my business grow (hopefully fast) from scratch. Anyone in the area wanna chat?
