Get Educated! One of the best things you can do to prepare yourself for your birth is to consult those who are really experienced and well learned about the birth process. Unfortunately for alot of us, those people are few and far between. Also, there are so many books and videos and websites and articles out there, that it is difficult to sort out the good information from the bad. To help solve this problem, I've decided to make my own library of books and DVDs accessable to my clients. Below you'll find a list of some books that you will benefit from when you enlist my services as a doula.
