As of October 5th, 2013, I am signed up for my birth doula training through Childbirth International! It feels surreal to have finally taken that first, big step. I'm ready to get this thing going! As soon as I hear from my trainer, I'll be getting started on the coursework. I've already done some reading on the student website, and I'm loving everything I've seen so far. This organization has such an unbiased, realistic philosophy and approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and I've already learned so much just from reading the section on the importance of communication. I'm going to grow so much as a person through the course of this.
I also have more news! I have a client! She is due Nov. 2nd of this year, and we have already had our preliminary meeting to discuss her wishes and form a birth plan! We seem to be very much on the same page philosophy-wise, and I cannot wait to support her in her labor and birth.
So many exciting things are happening in my life right now, and I could not be happier! Now, on to the next blog post! :-)
