@5ElementsBirth Same here! Seeing the difference a doula made in our births made me want to extend that to others. #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

A4: after I'd had both my babies and a friend in labor with her 4th called me to see if I thought she was in labor - went for it! #donachat

@HillaryMelch @DONAIntl @RobinPregnancy Same here. 1st trimester hire means we'll probably have much more text/email updates. #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl @RobinPregnancy for 1st time mom, I focus on finding resources needed, like CBE, prenatal exercise class, bf prep, etc #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@RobinPregnancy Agreed. Though I feel an awkward space sometimes if hired in first trimester. #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@5ElementsBirth Yes - I've been hired at 37 weeks! Better late than never. #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl A-3 I like being hired between 26-28 weeks. That's enough time to fit in our meetings and help them find cb class. #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl are digital submissions in the works? That would be awesome...and faster. Except for evaluation forms, obviously. #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl I'd like to give a huge shoutout to Julia for putting those together! I'm working on mine and her posts are helpful! #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@RobinPregnancy Awesome!

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl Wonderful, so glad to hear! Flying across the country plus conference cost is a lot. Hope next time! #DonaChat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@capcitydoula Let me know if you're ever in the area again! #donachat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

Is it possible to purchase sessions individually for online viewing after the conference? #DonaChat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl I'm very sad not to attend this year - still a newbie and can't afford the expense yet. Will any sessions be streamed?

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@capcitydoula Augusta, GA. Where are you again? #DonaChat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@RobinPregnancy Yes, I'm with you re: Penny! #DonaChat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@capcitydoula Same here! Gotta love life in the deep South! #DonaChat

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl I'm in Augusta, GA, have been a doula for a little over a year, and have 2 kids of our own. Our doula inspired me to do it!

[Melissa Schultz @Larksong80]

@DONAIntl Great!

@Shutterfly - I'm not a happy customer right now. I had better things to do than waste 2 hours on your site and lose all my work.
