On September 12th I will be starting my long journey of becoming a doula. I've thought about becoming a doula for some time now.

I sincerely believe that if I had had a doula present at my birth with Christian, things would have gone a bit differently: I would not have gotten an epidural, and therefor would not have been given pitocen, or had my water broken.

I believe that labor support is extremely important to not only a laboring mother, but her partner as well. Wish me luck! It's sure to be a long journey, but I fully believe that this is the path that I am destined to take.
