*I added a new task to my EDN (European Doula Network) volunteer job and volunteered for the EDN Newsletter team. Hopefully, it will be launched before the end of this year. Guess what? I love writing newsletters:)
*Doula Experience Exchange: I would like to reserve a special place for this here. I met with a doula, dear Tati, visited me all the way from California and came to my neighbourhood. We drank coffee, chatted a lot, took a walk, and most importantly, we have exchanged experiences. She told me all about how things are in doula world in California and Russia and I told her all about Turkey. You realize there are so many details that you would only now if you are involved in that country's system like the concept of public/private hospitals, possibility and costs of calling an ambulance, insurance system, birth routines, doula being accepted as a profession, doula back up system, the techniques we use, cultural differences, practical differences, the expected roles of partners during labor.
It is amazing to see how a person you just met can feel like a sister when you both have the doula heart and mindset. Thank you, Tati, once again for making this happen.
