Show Notes Chapter Markers

The Doula Dispensary is a weekly podcast, prescribing a weekly dose of all things doula. Siobhan and Kicki bring you a show which is a bit like sitting down with your mates for a cup of tea... So put the kettle on, sit down and enjoy listening to familiar issues as a working doula, woman and mother.

This week's doula dilemma discusses what to do if your birth client decides to have a termination for medical reasons. There's a question from a doula about what bows to add to her strings. The Doula Dose this week is about DBS checks and where doulas stand. We also have a chat about the 'cult of natural childbirth'. There is, of course, also a lot of general chit-chat about life.
