the trend towards night doulas, and other discussions

[Guest guest]

Dear Janel and Vicky;

I am very happy to have Janel joining our group and to have you all

sharing the big picture about women and infant care so realtime and

real concern focus! In my opinion wearing the moderator hat, this has

to qualify as very relevant, just wanted to make sure you know after

my previous comment. (I just had already been feeling we were all

getting a bit far afield for some of the group members I do not want

to loose.) I have to blame Vicky for bringing my crone name into the

discussion and appreciate her throwing me into the water, but the new

members won't be very interested to stay with this kind of talk, I

don't believe.

 

In respect of everyones' time, I am also now making the point NOT to

welcome each new member until they bring up a question/comment etc

(they do receive a welcome letter). It gets tedious to sort thru all

those messages - we have about 10 just joined recently! THats almost

20% increase in the forum membership. I'm really pleased about the

diversity and professional experience and knowledge base of our

membership and hope to see valuable info exchange.

 

Hopefully all of you are reading and will introduce your concerns and

reasons for joining!

 

Warm Regards!

Martha

Thanks for clarifying your vision for the list and for establishing

boundaries. Sorry, I jumped right in before doing an intro when I saw

my email to you posted followed by warm welcomes -- felt like walking

into great gathering of women.

 

Since my work and passion is off-topic from ayurveda approach, (the

baby's experience of prenatal, birth, and postnatal), and I don't have

ayurveda training, I'll just lurk and learn.

 

Thanks! Janel
