International Doula Month

May has been designated International Doula Month for many years now, but it's not a holiday that many people know about.  Even as the use of doulas is on the rise, this month might slip by without much thought.  But I would encourage you to reach to a doula you know, just to say hello or even thank you. Even though it is rewarding, being a doula is physically and emotionally demanding word.

How are you celebrating?
