Unsure of how to go about this
I’m a new doula (finished my DONA training in January) and have attended 2 births so far. They went fine but the concern is my next birth. I have a client that previously wanted to give birth at a birth center but it ended up closing. She switched birth centers and had an issue with one of the midwives so is now up in the air between 2 different hospitals or a free birth. I already know I don’t want to attend the actual birth, as that is too risky. However she offered that if I wanted to support her labor, then step out for the birth. I like the idea of supporting her labor I’m just not sure how that would look for me? She said she’s totally okay if I say no and just switch her care to pp. I’d just feel bad leaving her hanging for labor if I don’t go, but I’m not sure how to go about it. Help!
Also if you have any advice for picking up business please share! I’ve dropped off cards at stores & Ob’s. I’m “partnered” with a few people. I have a doulamatch that I haven’t had any luck at all with yet. I’ve had more luck with bornbir than anything! I have 3 for June but none others yet 🤞🏻
