Hi ladies! I joined a few days ago and I think I've read every thread on this site, I'm an info junkie and love to read! I'm an aspiring doula, looking to get certified through CBI. I'm not going to start until sometime in July as I am in the process of moving 7 hours away and want to wait till we get settled in our new home before starting. I'm a mother of three children ages 3, 22 months and 6 months. My first I had an epidural and my last two I had all natural and LOVED it! I already have my first birth scheduled, my twin sister is due September 7th and she is trying for a VBAC and wants me to help her, yay! I'm very excited to start this journey and to help other women!:)
