Doulas - Was Gardening Question? Fall Maintenance

[Guest guest]

"Translated from Greek, the word doula means slave. The term has come to

mean Mothering the Mother (Klaus,

Kennell, and Klaus), or the knowledgeable and experienced person who attends

the unique needs of a laboring

woman through childbirth."

Thanks.

That sounds great, I thought that was probably what

it was. Where does the word come from? Over here we, rather boringly call

them birthing partners! sometimes it's the father of the baby, sometimes

a friend.
