The blogger from Milliner's Dream kindly pointed me to her and other blogs I missed in my recent roundup of midwifery and doula blogs. Her site has a great new post, "Birth Conversations: A Doula's Version of the Vagina Monologues, which highlights some of the different treatment of women she has witnessed in attending births in home and hospital settings. Among the most shocking:
"Nurse in hospital (on her knees, crying): 'Please, please, I'm begging you please get an epidural...it's hurting my heart to watch you suffer...'"
"Nurse in hospital: 'If your doula gets our way, just so you know, we'll send her out.'"
