Meet the Midwife

I have a client who is due in May. They are planning a home birth with a local midwife. I got to meet that midwife this past week, and I am really looking forward to working with her for this couple. 

It was so encouraging to listen to her philosophy of birth! So different from OBs and hospitals. I am beyond thrilled that I will get to attend a birth at home!

Oh, and I did meet with a potential client a couple of weeks ago, and they just called back this week to tell me that they do indeed want to hire me! So, I have a client due in May, one due in June, and one due in August. This, of course, is all providing that we're still around this area then. 

New Client?

I got a contact form from my website from someone interested in interviewing me to possibly be their doula! I'm excited. I emailed her back, but haven't heard anything else at this point. She's due in June. 


I had a bit of a mini crisis as I wondered about the timing of things. We may or may not be here then. So do I tell potential clients that I will be their doula as long as I'm still around? Do I just go on "as if" nothing is going to change and we'll still be living here? I'm just really unsure as to whether or not to say anything.


But, if we are still here, and I do get hired by this new mama, then that means 3 clients in 4 months! That may not seem like much, but to me that signifies huge growth in my "business." Kinda fun to think about!

First Post

I have just started this blog for the purposes that I listed over in the sidebar. I feel like I have so much to learn, and I want a way to be able to remember all that happens! I don't know how often I'll be posting, but that's ok.

Right now, if we do not move in the next 6 months, I have two clients! One is due the middle of May and the other is due the beginning of August. One is (hopefully) going to have a vbac and the other is planning on birthing at home with a midwife. Two very different experiences! But I'm excited about each of them.
