Sorry - not very helpful, but what is a doula?

doula is someone who can be with you and support you through pregnancy,labour & post natal. x

Go to the doula uk site and look at training to be a recognised doula.
I'm doing it with nurturingbirth.

become a doula on doula uk, or nurturingbirth courses.

thanks hun,

How you finding it??

I'm another MN Doula. Also trained with NB. Been working as a Doula for 2years now, and love it.

The one thing is (as with any self employed job), there is no guaranteed work, but I don't think any Doula does the work for the money, it's because we love what we do and are all very passionate about it.

jofeb04 - oh its not really the money, its just something i'd love to do.
