When I first heard the term doula, I knew how limited my vocabulary must be. It's the modern-day term for midwife.
That said, I'm wondering how long before government regulations interfere and make the 'licensure' the cost of a nursing degree.
Many women are opting for home births; and, wisely so, for protection from staph, etc.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Peace.
I hope that doulas can remain as they are, without government intervention!
Yes, you are so much more protected from additional germs and possible infection in the comfort of your own home!
Thanks for your comment!
