"Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect.  For what has happened?  A miracle.  You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything." ~ William MacNeile Dixon

 

 

Thank you for visiting Birth Odyssey. 

 

First of all I would like to congratulate you on your up and coming birth.  May it be everything you hope for and more.  Chances are if you are visiting my site, someone whispered in your ear the benefits of having a doula attendant at your labor and delivery. 

 

I hope you find the answers you are seeking.  My mission in creating Birth Odyssey is simple -- to help expecting parents sort through the enormous amounts of information they receive, answer all their questions about what labor and delivery are really like, help them determine how to best achieve the optimal outcome of their birth experience, and to facilitate open lines of communication with the medical staff that will be caring for them.  I respect the birthing process, and believe it is within every woman's rights to have a fulfilling birth experience where she and her partner feel nurtured and loved at every step of the journey. 

 

A doula is like having your own handmaid during labor/delivery and immediately postpartum.  Please tour my site and see if a doula is right for you!
