Pregnancy and childbirth - why is a doula important in childbirth?

[greenlightcoach]

Saw another mention of a Doula on a tv show... yay!

Oh this is such a great snappy video! It says so much and now....darn, I suddenly want another baby! LOL (never mind that our youngest 2 are 12 years old!) Keep up the great work. -Gina Parris

I will definitely have a doula at my child's birth!!! Great Video!

[zenbirthcoach]

@mikewattstv hooray! It's so nice to have another person that is objective and knows the birth lingo!

[mikewattstv]

@zenbirthcoach - I know I am so proud of myself, HAHA. Since I have been working with my supplement company I have learned so much about birthing and doulas and so many other aspects I never imagined I would be learning :)

I have a friend in NYC that's a doula and I was never sure what that actually meant. Thanks for the information in the video here!

I'll never be pregnant (I hope) but I found this video interesting fromthe way the music pulled you through to the photos of all the couples... great job getting the information out there

Never even heard of Doula's before this. But I can see why they are important. Are you one?

[zenbirthcoach]

@SmallBusinessGeeks Yes I am a doula too! It's crazy because I'm on call a lot. Hard for me to sleep! I love it!

2 of my best friends back in Dallas used a doula for their first baby and had a great experience. Thanks for the video.

Love the upbeat music in your video! I don't have children but I would want all the help I could get during the labor! ~ Karriann

Great video zenbirthcoach! My sister-in-law used a doula a few years ago for her first child and it was an amazing experience for her. It influenced our family so much, that my wife actually wants to become a doula!

What do you recommend for mom's after childbirth to get back into shape?

[zenbirthcoach]

@coachwoot Pilates! The muscles are so stretched out and weakened. Proper muscle activation is crucial or the stabilizing muscles will get overlooked. Plus the Transversus Abdominis can be elusive to target without proper training! Then after all this body awareness, EPOC!!

There have been so many mentions of Doulas on TV lately, both sitcoms and episodics, shining you in a great light. Glad the word is getting out that a Doula is part of the team!

[zenbirthcoach]

@greenlightcoach I know! I've seen an increase in the awareness. I hope it becomes a trend!
