Help for pregnant women left without support due to military service

www.operationdoulacare.org

"Operation Doula Care has been formed in response to the events of
September 11th, 2001. Doulas all over the United States have come
together to form America's first ever "Doula Reserve". Our mission is
to provide, FREE of charge, birth doula support to the pregnant wives
of U.S. Military men (Active Duty, Reservists, National Guard, Coast Guard)
that have been called up, deployed, injured or have become deceased
as a direct result of any military actions relating to the war against terrorism."

A birth doula is a woman that has been
specifically trained to provide physical,
emotional and informational support to
a pregnant woman before, during and
after the birth of her baby. A doula's role
is non-medical.


--As a doula, I will also say that you don't have to be married to participate.

Please pass this on to anyone who needs support.

I'm sending the link to a cousin who is a L&D nurse in Phoenix.
