It’s not that you’re not amazing (you are!)… it’s that no one’s told you the 3 reasons doulas struggle to get clients—and how to fix them FAST.

Most nurses are too busy to explain things to a mother in an emergency situation. As a doula, it's your job to get on the mother's level and explain why things are happening. If it can't be done in the moment or you don't know what's happening either (because we're not medical professionals), you need to find out from the nurses and then explain it to the mother ASAP. The sooner the explanation comes, the sooner the mother can process what happened with accurate information.

(Also, as a retired midwife, stimulation is ineffective in secondary apnea. The baby made noises after the initial stimulation. It was time to either re-assess or move on to PPV. But even if the baby did need continued stimulation, I would have shown the mother how to do it and assisted her while explaining the situation. That's the difference between hospital birth and home birth).
