Thank goodness. We have a fabulous Community Midwivery program where I live that has government-funded homebirth midwives. They are awesome, and I found this book in their library.

It was a life-changing read for me and many other doulas too - its all about the love! :-) Motherfunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809370449833738968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954736734810179748.post-33703452466806641102012-10-01T02:12:21.372+01:002012-10-01T02:12:21.372+01:00Wow.
