Is it my imaginmation or is the a MN'er in Northampton who's is/trainig to be a Doula???

[HRHQueenOfQuotes]

I'm sure AGES ago I spoke to someone on here who's either a trained or training Doula - and they lived in Northampton.........is that you????

hey its me, was a doula for a year or so, mainly post birth work, can I help at all?? (btw I was MKM and your dh has been in my house lol)

yes I thought I'd spoken to someone - and I was just saying to my brother who's staying that I though it was someone my DH had licenced LOL.

So I take it your're not Doula-ing (is that a word LOL) any more?? And don't do birth??

Just vaguely considering my options, still got loads of time - I'm only 7+5weeks - but had been thinking of a Doula and didn't know if there was anyone 'local'.

He sat at my dining room tble and everything!!
I am not currentl working as a Doula although have not givn up on going back to it, i know a couple of birth doulas in Northampton, I think who can be found on DUK website, although have not been in recent contact so can't be sure. I will try and find a link to her personal webiste for you, hang on a tick x

Thanks that would be good - obviouisly haven't made up my mind yet - and don't even know as yet whether we would be able to afford one - just want to be 'armed' with the information so I feel prepared.

I haven't spoke to her for a while but she is quite experienced and worth touching base with and discussin your options. I would love to offer you my services but I would be doing you a diservice as I worked mainly in post birth, and my family circumtances (four small children) make it difficult to commit to birth work. Please feel free to contact me though if you want to chat about anything x

here

please excuse the millions of typos, am having a keyboard prob!!!

HRH - if you want to you can always CAT me... I may know good trainees near you too
That would sort out the cost issue !

Thanks - had actually looked at her website - and wondered if it was you LOL. I'll contactg you if I want anymore info though

pupuce I haven't paid for CATs - and TBH this month can't afford to either - may contact you at the end of November (once we've got some money again) for their details.......are trainees considerably cheaper then???

please feel free I'm always happy to chat
Pupuce's idea of a trainee is a good one, often trainees lack experience in respect of the amount of births they have attended. but many of them are very knowledgable and more than capable of forming the bond necessary to be a 'good birth partner'.

I think trainees only charge expenses, and i believ if you find the right one for you then they are equally as valuable.

Just get me via my website

thanks you two - sorry I disappeared last night - suddenly felt completely zonked and crashed off to bed LOL. Just had a look at your website and bookmarked it Pupuce.
