One of my subscribers on youtube just posted this video... it's a really weird video and it looks like the birth had some intervention. 

I asked Noelle if I could attend her birth and she said YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Her due date is mid August.  And it will be at Northern Dutchess birthing center. 

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This birthing video is pretty much amazing.

What a champ!  Such an incredible, empowering, beautiful, and peaceful birth.

This is also a great UB video:


Unassisted births are an fascinating idea.  Not for everybody, yes, but for those of you who can birth without any medical assistance or drugs, I say, more power to ya. 

Amazing, really.  And incredibly inspiring. 

I know there's a few of you guys on my F-list so I'm going to post my questions here before I resort to the communities on here.

What process did you go through to become a certified doula?

Who is certified through DONA international?  How long did it take for you to get certified?  What was the hardest thing?

Thanks!  =)
