   Baby catcher by Peggy Vincent is an excellent memoir and it gives you a great look at what it means to be a homebirth CNM. One of the best midwifery memoirs.

6. Is it worth it going for a doula Certification?

   kimiij replied to smallwonders07's topic in CNM

   I would say no. But, it depends on how long it will take you to start midwifery school in earnest. If it will take you 10 years to start midwifery school, then why not? However, if you plan to start school soon, then go ahead and take the doula tra...

    I get mine from Blue Sky Scrubs. They are high quality scrubs- extremely soft and well-made. They are kind a price - $20 for the simple scrubs and $30 for the original scrubs. Price is for a top or a bottom.
