I have my second doula client. The only problem is that she is due to have her baby next Tuesday and we are going to be in Darwin from Friday until Monday. I guess I just have to hope that she is like most firrst time mother’s and goes into labour late rather than early.

After our meeting like week she sent me an email that really made me even more certain about why I think doulas are important and why I want to be one. This is part of it.

“Since meeting you I sleep much better. I am much more confident about the birth and my perception of the pain I am going to experience changed totally… I am looking forward to it!”

Isn’t that great!! Makes me certain that even if she does come early and I don’t make it to her birth she will have a much better birth because she is feeling excited and confident in her abilities to birth her baby.
