Jenny, I began my certification as a birth doula. Once done I plan to then continue to do my post partum. I like attending births but I think post partum is nice if you need to have a more set schedule. Birth is unpredictable but post partum allows you to set up appts. good luck

Hey, Jenny. Both are great. Where do your skills lay? I've been a birth doula for 23 years - so rewarding! Trained originally with DONA but now with ICEA.

I am very interested in becoming a doula. What are everyone's preference? Birthing doula or post partum?

I am proud to be a DONA postpartum doula, and am very happy to share this lovely video with the next generation of parents.
