Doulas: What Was Old is Completely Redefined - a podcast by Leanne Meier, BSN, RN

As a Labor and Delivery Nurse, I worked in a hospital that did not have Doulas. I guess you could say that we functioned in that capacity. Doulas (with or without the name) have been around as long as women have needed help delivering babies--which is to say, forever! Many people are aware that while Doulas (the name means, Mothering mother), have never really gone away, they have returned in force. As women want less medical intervention in their labor and delivery, they need more hands on knowledgeable assistance at every stage of labor to deal with the unique evolution of their own personal delivery. That is where professional Doulas come in. My guest Randy Patterson has not only been a successful Doula with her own business, she has now opened a business to help other people become just as successful in this intimate role. Please join to discuss your experiences with this birthing assist.
