News Flash, Fresno has Doulas!. At a birth a few months ago a Doula friend of mine met a labor and delivery, nurse at Clovis Community. This nurse used to a midwife and moved here from Portland. She was surprised to find out that Fresno has Doulas. I thought wow, if L and D nurses don't know about us, how can anyone else?
Dr. Ostoya (O.B.) revealed Sunday evening at the Talk Back, (after BIRTH the play at the Tower Theater) that after 12 years as an obstetrician in Fresno he has only worked with three Doulas! What! Unbelievable. Another doctor in attendance, Dr. J. Thomas said that although his experience with Doulas was positive, it was limited.
Any ideas as to how we can let more women know about the importance of Doulas in birth? Why is it such a secret? Just thought I'd put that out there?
