<p>Received an e-mail from a mama looking for some resources in this area.... Any recommendations on a doula and an out-of-hospital childbirth class? </p>

<p>Courtenay has classes.  I think she moderates this forum.  PM her for more info.  <span><img alt="thumb.gif" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif" style="width:23px;height:18px;"></span></p>

<p>Thanks for the info!    I checked out Courtenay's web site and it looks like she is in Metro Detroit, not Saginaw/Bay City, where this mama lives. I appreciate the suggestion, though! </p>

<p>Oooh!!  I have some resources!!  I am in Saginaw, and I have a doula who attended my birth with my midwife, who also provides out of hospital classes.  Both are in the Freeland/Midland area (10-20 min from Sag, closer to Bay City), and I *think* a couple of my other friends have/know of people teaching in the area as well.  If you want to pm me, I can give you my phone number to give to that person for contact info on everyone.</p>
