So I've decided not to go to my 40 week appointment on Friday. With my doulas wishes I'm going to postpone it until the middle of next week or something like that unless baby's movement decreases or something odd happens. That Drs office just stresses me out and I'm tired of leaving worn out from saying no to cervical checks. Geez it's my vagina back the fuck up!

@arivera64, yay you! :) I'm very interested in becoming one someday! There are so few women of color who are doulas!

This i know mama. One of many reasons i chose my career path. It makes me feel good empowering and bringing knowledge from a different perspective.

Truth. I look forward to seeing how your labor and birthing experience goes with your doula. Sending you positive vibes and strength for an amazing labor and delivery soon.

@babyboy449, A doula is a trained woman who offers a variety of support during pregnancy, birth and even offers postpartum care. She takes care of mamas emotional needs especially during labor and ensures your birth goes as smoothly as possible. My doula will especially be my husbands support system as he supports me during transition. My doula also happens to be the President Elect of DONA International. Google it for more info if you'd like!

@babyboy449, :) try doulamatch.net or even asking on Fb if you're in any mom groups or things of that nature. Your local La Leche League (breastfeeding support) chapter may even have some resources for you! Good luck!
