AHAHA! That last bit had me in stitches once again. Man, your autobiography would be a surefire bestseller. I would like to put my name in the hat as an investor, as I feel that it would be a blue chip bet!
I've been around childbirth a lot (my mother is an OB-GYN, I think I mentioned that before), but I don't think I've ever seen a doula before. I've heard of them, sure, but I guess it's not a thing here. Mothers and grandmothers fulfill that role here I think. I could be wrong, and I could easily have been interacting with doulas all of my life and not know it. Heck, I might be a doula and don't know it!! :O
A STEEM-funded doula, now that's something for the record books!
You're a doula!!! You just dont know it!
I knew if anyone would get the reversal of the ending you would! :O)
You have said about your mother. That would be fair handy. Unfortunately, (oh oh get the harps out) myself and the good lady are not blessed with the most available of families. So instead we are landed with an overworked health service and having to pay for doulas!
It is a steem funded doula! All my steem goes on the pregnancy or preparing for the days of no pay when she cant work :O)
we call this "hilot" in my country :D
Sounds a bit saucy ;0)
All I ever do in those cases is to provide whatever physical and emotional assistance I can, instructing them on how to best take care of their newborn and ... Oh my Glob. I am a doula (oblongata) :O
I need a moment to process everything. It seems I've had a full-time job for years and didn't know about it. Heck, I never even get paid for it! What's worse is I never knew about it!
Quick man!! Start calculating your back pay!!!
Okay so, taking into account inflation and the compounding interest, multiply it to my experience and my pro rata, divided by the hours spent on labor, that amounts to .... I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Me so dumb at Maths.
I got lost after the fifth word!!
Yes, account inflation times thingmyjig!!
