Tamar, they're a variation of the lap pads. Not weighted, just some kind of thick and semi-waterproof fabric. They're from Target. We put them down the changing area before putting Audrey down.

If you will offer birthing help at home, explain when or how the decision would be made to go to a hospital if there are complications.

Matthew, did you use to be a doula? Those are good questions!
- Shevonne
No, I'm just Catholic. There's always someone pushing out a kid somewhere.
- Matthew DeVries
Hhahaha
- Shevonne
Start with really basic questions. Talk about what a doula does, etc. I'm sure you have that down already. And then talk about what you offer, what you don't (epidurals?). Stuff like "what am I to expect?" Talk about the difference between a doula and a nurse and whether you recommend any after that.
- Tamar Weinberg
How many times do you meet with us? Before/after? Do you have connections with lactation consultants?
- Jaclyn
It sounds to me like you're talking about a midwife. So you might want to ask about their license and state registration..
- MicahBear78
Micah, midwives and doulas are different. Midwives have medical degrees and actually do the baby delivery along with diagnosis and prescribing. Doulas provide emotional and physical support in labor but don't do medical care.

- Alex Scoble
(Alex, doulas aren't covered by any health insurance companies in America!)
