Anyone know about becoming a doula?

[skatergirl]

I have been thinking of looking into becoming a doula. Does anybody know anything about the training and whether or not it is a position that is respected by the medical world or frowned upon??

There are a few on here. Look out for lulumama.

Thanks Lucy5. Do you think I have put the question onto the right thread?? I am new around here.

You could put the same question under one of the childbirth topics, to ensure that someone sees it. I'll point Lulumama your way. welcome to mumsnet

Will do, thanks.
