I'm looking for a doula is often the beginning of a shared experience for one of the most unique and important moments of our lives: motherhood. But when we talk about doulas, what is the first thing that comes to our minds? What do you expect from a doula? Perhaps we think of the figure of a woman, perhaps we imagine her in our labor or think of her as the bearer of a compendium of natural remedies or an expert who will tell us what we have to do or will protect us. So much has been said about doulas that it is sometimes difficult to get to the roots of the service she offers. Looking for a doula may seem like a whim, or the desire to have a fashionable figure or ideal motherhood. Since we already have someone who attends maternity, why look for someone else? Are doulas something new or is it just a fad? Are doulas always at births? Do we have a doula to achieve a specific type of childbirth or parenting? Are they really experts in the maternities of other women? Do they have a real relationship with therapies or natural remedies? Hand in hand with the knowledge and experiences of the doula, Child Educator and graduate in Early Care Beatriz Fernández, we will discover the realities of doulas in Spain and in history. We will travel from the origins and the first historical references of doulas to see their evolution over time. We will understand what it really means to accompany and why that word seems to be present in more and more services and spaces nowadays. We will learn about the legal reality, the ethical limits and the day-to-day life of the doula.
