Thanks to Inspired Birth Pro for pointing these out.
The first is from MODG posting about the Secrets Hippies Have I had to LOL because she is so funny. Here is a brief look:
They were like, you know what? My husband is a lame tard and I don’t trust him at all to do the stuff I need when I give birth and I may squeeze his head off with the forceps. I am going to hire a personal assistant who does whatever I say and who is a baby birth expert and I’m going to call it something hippie sounding like “Doula” so they get confused and just go along with it.
Go read and enjoy!
Then there is the post about I Pity the Doula. I had to laugh and say, “I hear you!” when he said:
There are several reasons why I would make a better, oh, I don’t know, professional wrestler, snake charmer, conservative Republican lobbyist, anything than I would make a doula. One of these is the schedule. You’re on call, a la ER, 24/7 until that baby arrives, is home, is nursing, is pooping in its diapers, and the parents are slightly less than shell-shocked.
It is the only part I don’t love about being a doula.
