I had amazing births with both my girls but I really took to my mid wife I had with Lucy's birth.
Im about to start a doula course but I have a terrible habbit of qitting things because they get to hard and I dont think Im smart enough to do it
I was thinking of getting in touch with my mid wife, Jodie. Just to see as I go through the course if I need a little help etc? Not a lot of help just a question here and there?
Maybe she's to busy or just doesn't want to get involved with a patient. If this is a bad idea what ideas do you ladies have to help me through? I really want to have the amazing feeling of finishing something and learning something new! I really want to do this doula course but Im scared of how I'll reck it for myself by giving up
Actually Kass, you know what? You might be surprised at how easy it is for you to do - because its something you have such a passion for.
Don't doubt yourself, or even think negative thoughts about quitting babe - it won't do any good. Positive thinking!! You want to do this yeah? You are passionate about it yeah?
So you're looking for someone to mentor you basically? I think it is a great idea and the worst she can say is no - and you wont know if you don't ask. Even if she can't help you out, she may know someone who can.
Sweety you will do amazing!! Also please don't forget that i'm here for you and I'll help you out as much as I can darl. If you like I can give you my contact details.
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.
