I'm new to the Utah area (in Provo / Orem) and am expecting my second baby. :) I'm interested in attending meetings if they are still on-going. Also, I'd really like suggestions for an experienced doula... I have just begun the search and thought it would make it much easier for me to get recommendations from people who have experience in this area. Thanks!!!! Hello!

Anyway... I wanted to thank you. When I first came to BBC in 2001, I had had 3 unmedicated, vaginal births, but all in a hospital setting, and would've thought anything else was "crazy". However, the discussions on the LDS board there by you and others about homebirth inspired me to research and change my mind. I've since had 3 more children, and have experienced waterbirths in a birth center with a midwife (due to the inability to find a homebirth midwife in my area) and finally, 4 weeks ago, with my youngest child, a waterbirth at home. All of my children have been large babies (my smallest was 9 lbs even, my largest was 11 lbs, 5 oz, and my newest was 10 lbs, 4 oz, for example), but IMO, that really has nothing to do with it. My deliveries, especially the more recent ones, were easy and pain-free (regardless of what anyone else tells me is or is not "possible"), and I laughed, talked, etc through them. One of the doulas/apprentice midwives who attended my recent birth commented during my labor that "if everyone was like you, we'd be out of a job!" What a joy it is to have babies in my own, comfortable setting, without pain, and with the support of my loving husband, children, and a midwife who respects my wishes. Thanks for being so passionate about this and making me realize that maybe not all homebirthers were crazy. ;) I don’t know if you’ll remember me – I think it’s been a while since you posted on BabyCenter?
