So there is no Sunday Surfin’ today because I was gone from Saturday early in the morning until last night and my brain is in a fog.  🙂

Just wanted to say how much I love being a doula and what an honor it is to attend births.

I will say that I don’t like continuous fetal monitoring – just because I feel like 90% of my job at a hospital birth is holding the monitor on, so mom can be in different positions.

I love telemetric monitoring because my VBAC mom was able to get in the tub!  But I will say I need a massage after holding the monitor on while she was in the tub.  20 minutes off the monitor would have been fine.  But with a VBAC mom they are pretty strict about that at hospitals.

If mom  gives me permission I will share her story later.

I love having a “job” which makes me cry tears of joy!  🙂
