We had a doula in Williamsburg a while back who was also a Yoga Instructor. She had not had children, but her passion for birth and assisting moms was amazing. Her soothing voice alone made her a great doula. She got experience by assisting another…
I like the part where they said "she labored for several hours at home not attended by a doctor, but a midwife..." How many OBs attend moms for several hours of labor, if they are there during labor at all?
This is a group for anyone in the Richmond area looking to exchange ideas, ask questions, share upcoming local events and encourage one another in a non-judgemental forum.
Discuss, ask questions and share what you are going through.
You know, for a lot of my clients, they really should not be having their babies at the hospital by me based on what they want for their baby's birth. They should be having their babies at home or at the only birth center in the area which is an hou…
My friends and I tell each other Happy Birth Day on our kids' birthdays. Now that I'm a mom, I think the moms should be celebrated on those days too. Ha.

I learned this the hard way when sitting in a mom's house at 2am watching her have contractions on a birth ball while holding the watch she was timing them on. I finally decided that if she could time her own contractions, it was either not the real…
If you work with a partner, you can relieve each other if it goes beyond a certain number of hours. I have not done this, but it sounds like a good idea. I have been at births that have gone 24 hours and I think it would have been great for the clie…
I loved this movie. The only thing I did not like was that there was only one birth in a hospital, so I think women who would never consider a homebirth might not look into what options there are with midwives in a hospital. I wish more women knew a…
For folks who love the documentary film, The Business of Being Born, but may not fit into the box of expecting or recently delivered moms...although we love and respect them all!!!
I don't carry many "tools" for the birth, mostly just what I need for me in case the birth is long. I did make a Rebozo out of a throw blanket at a birth last year. I had never used one. The birth seemed too intense too early and then stayed that wa…
I once had a couple who were interviewing me tell me that they weren't sure a doula was right for them because they weren't very "granola." I was sitting there in my khakis and trendy t-shirt thinking I looked more like a Gap ad than granola, so I w…
I own/created/run Sofia Bean www.sofiabean.com. It all started with a gift box I designed and then I added soft layette items like what I liked for my active babies. The clothes came about because I had so much trouble shopping for simple neutral on…
I'm a doula, but I only attend a few births a year because I also run a business www.sofiabean.com and I have three kids. I had my second and third babies with midwives, one in a hospital and one in a birth center that was actually inside a hospital…
