I am super thrilled to have just registered for the next step in my training to become a birth doula. The class I am taking is through Big Belly Services in Seattle. They have some really great teachers and I am excited to get started early this next week.
A birth doula is someone who can support and educate a pregnant woman and her family. This usually starts in the 2nd trimester and support goes through out the remainder of pregnancy, labor, and birth. Eventually, I plan on taking the postpartum doula training which includes support at home after the birth. This is sometimes called the 4th trimester.
I look forward to sharing with you as I go through this new experience. I will be looking for families to do free work with while I finish my certification. Let me know if you are interested!
