Fantastic podcast on Merconium, cleared up a lot of questions I had. Actually I love all your podcasts, you are an ongoing education series for all women. I am a 61 year old woman, and have been a doula for 7 years. I believe in Undisturbed birth, so I heed the words of Michel Odent, to sit in the corner knitting. I don’t knit, have I Pad, and find this works well. I am and have been a nurse for 36 years,so it has been a learning curve for me to learn to not do anything at a birth. So I see that with midwives, they are trained to Do – this is because their training is not wholistic. My doula training was at the International College of Spiritual Midwifery. I love my calling. Recently attended my first Lotus Birth – home waterbirth. 4th baby, older sibs present. It was bliss. 6 days to lotus. Then ritual burial of the placenta and a nearby tree made into The Wishing Tree where we all tied ribbons and made our wishes for the new babe. Still blessed out over it 6 weeks ago now. Thankyou so much, you are a true inspiration. I’m never to old to learn more. Blessings from Sandy.
