My last doula client before my maternity leave went into labor at 1:30 this morning.  She called me at 3:30 and I arrived around 4 to find her contractions right on top of one another and very intense.  The midwife arrived a little after 5 and the baby was born at 6:10!!!  9 lbs, 7oz, 20 inches long!  I've never attended a home birth before and it was AMAZING!  I'll write more about it later, but now I need a nap :)

Wow, that's awesome!! I'm training to be a doula now and can not wait to start attending births and giving women the support they need.
