What do doulas talk about?

This week i joined a doula network on facebook. its a weird world and i thought i would share some of the subjects under discussion, just for light entertainment

  • does anybody use the word "yoni" instead of vagina?
  • does anybody want to buy birthing pools discounted due to flood damaged boxes?
  • can anybody make suggestions as to how to help a mum with anal fissures?
  • what books do you recommend to clients?
  • what should i charge?
  • how can i help a mum with extensive vaginal bruising? and one of the answers: if she saved the placenta, she should eat it
every profession has its own culture but i think that in this one it will be a very long time before i have "seen it all"

  4. I am assuming anal fissures are the tearing between the vagina and the rectum that happens in natural birth in some cases or is an {?}epiesiotomy (where they cut it with a scalpal)if a doctor is present?

    Try auto mechanics...every question starts with "Does anybody know how to do..."

  6. I'm a sucker for sales, so I'll take twelve of those birthing pools in the flood-damaged boxes.

  7. Oh my....my niece in law is now 22 weeks pregnant and I have to bite my tongue when I hear all of this female goddess shit. Women have been having sprogs since well...since there were women. Just push I say, strap it on and get back in the bloody kitchen where you belong. More seriously, vitamin e cream with a lanolin base is very good for massaging the Hoo-ha or Yoni to prevent the likelihood of episiotomy and I imagine would be very soothing for anal fishes, I mean fissures.

    If you're a male and you said that, then my hat's off to you for your courage.
