I am part of a Doula Group and we back each other up in case someone has 2 births at the same time. In 5 years of existence, it has only happened one time. And it worked perfectly, because my Hypnobabies Student had hired Carole and when Carole ended up being at another birth, I got to go to their birth. We all agreed it was meant to be.
Well, on Thursday I got a call from one of my other partners, Kim and she had 2 moms who were doing early birthing stuff. I was on call for the couple who had taken Hypnobabies.
I talked to the couple around dinner, because Kim had headed to the other birth. We talked and they were doing fine alone. So I touched base with them again around 9:30. They were still doing fine, so I was hoping to get a few hours sleep before they called.
I took a quick shower and got into bed by 10 and tried to fall asleep. (Not always easy when you know you may be going to a birth, especially this time, when I don’t even know the couple)
I got a text from Kim saying that they were ready for me to come to the hospital.
No more “sleep” for me.
I texted back and asked
Kim texted back and said, “1st baby. Not Hypnobabies Students, but very into mediation and yoga, very relaxed and awesome couple.”
Ahh, I was wide awake now and a little scared!
I have never been a doula for a non-Hypnobabies couple before!
