Is your baby due before Nov 2011? in Laingsburg, Western Cape

Beskrywing
I am a Doula in training and wish to offer my services free of charge until Nov. 2011. I will support you, the mom-to-be, during labour and birth and just afterwards. Doula is a Greek word meaning ?woman who helps women?. In South Africa Doulas are also known as Childbirth Companions.
These are women who offer continual emotional and physical support to labouring woman (and her partner) in the form of comfort, reassurance and gentle touch. Doulas usually stay with the mother throughout labour, constantly assessing and responding to her needs. A Doula may assist the new family at home.Doulas are becoming increasingly visible and important in our labour wards because of the positive effect that they are having on all who are involved in the birth process. Every woman ought to have a positive and memorable birth experience. Having a Doula with you during your labour and birth will help you have the birth experience you deserve. Doulas can make a difference for you in your birth experience.Studies have documented that a Doula?s touch and support leads to reduced pain ? or, at the very least, the mother?s perception of reduced pain.
