Attends home births? Some Home Births
At home births, the true meaning of the word "doula" (servant) is put into action! While some of the responsibilities I have in the hospital setting are eliminated in a home birth, new ones come into play. There is definitely enough work to go around for the entire birth team. My goal is to ensure that the only things mom and dad have to focus on are each other and their newest blessing!
