Do you think she'll go for it?

Hi there!

Are there any Doula's in your area???

I was lucky enough to have a local Doula org whom has 2 Qualified Doulas. I became quite close with one of the Doula's and she mentored me (still does!!) for about 12 months. She took me along to a few of her clients births etc. It really was great.

So I would suggest finding out if there are any other Doula's in your area and ask if they would mind mentoring you. Otherwise, I think I wouldnt hurt to be in touch with your Midwife.

Good luck!

You could do that. But you could also visit one/all of these websites (I havent included links as I'm not up to date with the link policy on BB now):

Find a Doula in Australia
The Doula Register
Homebirth Qld

That should definately get you started!

Goodluck with your course. I am sure you will do fine if you are passionate enough about it.

I am starting a midwifery course this year, and i am lucky enough that my sister works at the hospital i had my bubs at. She does the bookings in the maternity ward. She was talking with some of the midwives who delivered my bub, and both of them TOLD her she had to give me their contact details so that i could call them if i ever needed anything! I am SO excited by that, and i feel really blessed that they are so keen to help me out. One delivered my first son, the other my 3rd, and she was my real inspiration to do the mid course.

So i say, there is no harm in asking. She is either able to or not. She may be really flattered you asked (even if she isn't able to help)

Goodluck with your course
