An unintended guest at a birth mitigated by a Doula’s grace.

An unintended guest at a birth mitigated by a Doula’s grace.

June 23, 2015 By Deena Leave a Comment

Sometimes we want additional friends or family members to join us for our births. Other times, we’d prefer birth to be a more private event. Margaret, one of our Shining Light Doulas, shares a story of an unintended guest and how she gracefully managed a challenging situation and turned it around to be a positive experience for mom, dad and the unintended guest.

Please visit Shining Light Doulas to learn more about how a doula can help you and your partner for your birth.
