How to Find a Midwife and Doula

In the Pursuit of a More Natural Childbirth Experience

By: Petra Ortiz, Keith Roberts, Kelly Burnett, Cathy Matthews, McKenna Keys, Sean Hill, Elaine Petrone

Narrated by: Sherill Turner

In this book, you will learn what a Midwife is, and what a Doula is - and more importantly, what they can do for you, how they can support you, and how to locate either or both to discuss your pursuit of a natural childbirth. You will learn what to expect from a Midwife or Doula during the prenatal, labor, delivery, and postpartum stages of your pregnancy. The reason I wrote this book was because I wanted to provide a way for pregnant individuals (or couples) who are considering natural childbirth options, to be able locate a midwife and/or doula more easily, and know what to expect during the entire process (from the first interview to the postpartum stage) before actually embarking on that search. I've included extremely helpful sections for Dads-to-be and Partners.
