Hi Kelly,
I am looking for a Doula in the Latrobe Valley region of Gippsland. Would you happen to know of any one in this area? West and South Gippsland would probably be close enough also. I am not pregnant yet, but am in the planning stages of my second child and would love doula support.

Thanks for your help

Bronwen, not off the top of my head but if you email me your location, email etc I can forward it to some midwifery/doula lists I am on for extra help. info@bellybelly.com.au.

Bronners, I am more than happy to have a chat with you about the possibility of supporting you as a Doula if you want to PM me with more details if you haven't already found someone.

Hi - looking for a doula in the ....area. I am going through CMP at the base hospital and hoping for a VBAC. The midwives there are great and very supportive, but I would still like someone else with me, as I still have memories of DH snoring during labour

Hello,

I am a student doula, finished the theory and just about completed my 3 births. Not sure if I am posting in the right area but I am hoping to meet up with a Doula who I can not only use as a mentor but also who I can have as back up. I really want to throw my all into this and have had stax of enquiries which is why I feel like I need to find someone to back me up occasionally. Also the training was a bit isolative and it would be good to have a more experienced person that i could look to as a bit of a mentor.

Cheers
Clare

I have a friend who is a doula in the geelong area! If you are interested email me at leisha12@hotmail.com!

Hi Leesha,

Thank you for responding but I think Geelong will be a little to far away from me to really be of any benefit with regard to backing each other up. That being said it would be great to have a chat with her and get more ideas etc so I will email you and get more details.

Cheers
Clare

Hi Clare,

I wonder if I might be of service to you with regards to mutual back up? I am in Warburton - east of Lilydale. If you'd like to chat about possibilities, my ph. no. is 0432 105 162, or feel free to visit my blog.

I am nearly 29 weeks and am hoping I haven't left my run too late to find a doula for the beginning of February (due date is 5 Feb). If any qualified doulas are available at that time and work in Carlton, Victoria, please contact me. I will be delivering at Frances Perry House and Nicola Bryan-Yuen is my OB.

Thanks!
