 A big congratulations to Jodie, Pete and Jack for the new addition to their family 'Maximus' weighing 4.4kgs and born 1.30am Thursday 19th April 2012. It was an absolute honour to be your doula. You were both inspirational, calm and did so amazingly well during your labour and birth of your baby. You should be proud of where you began and how far you came. Lots of love Lauren - Singingbird Yoga

I'm studying to become a Doula at The Australian Doula College in Sydney.  Some people say "Oh you're studying to become a Jeweler?" or as my mum said to hospital staff, "Im looking for the Ab-Doula". I think this is a cross between the Ab circle pro and a Doula. I didn't check but Im sure my Doula had good abs.

Doula's or birth support/birth companions, are slowly becoming a regular part of the birth team, offering comfort, reassurance and encouragement to you and your partner during labour and provide continuity of care on an emotional, physical and informational level during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period.

A doula can be a valuable tool during labour, especially if you are planning to birth at hospital. Sometimes you need extra encouragement and a reminder that you really can do it. Its so important to be familiar with the people you birth with, because feeling inhibited or fearful can dramatically effect your labour.
