Hello friends! (please forward to your pregnant friend or client!)
As many of you know, I am a certified labor doula with an national
organization called ALACE (Association of Labor Assistants and
Childbirth Educators). They are doing a doula training the weekend
of March 20-22 in Atlanta and are looking for pregnant moms to be
their "models" for just a couple hours on March 21 from 2:30-4 pm.
Part of the labor doula's training with ALACE includes listening to
the baby's heartbeat with a fetoscope- it's like a stethoscope with a
funnel like end. It's completely safe, non-invasive and a lot of fun
to be a part of! You will be treated like a queen, I assure you!
You will be paired with a doula trainee and she will be guided by the
instructor on how to palpate the baby from outside your belly and
find the baby's heart tones with the fetoscope (see one at
http://www.allheart .com/om13fetal. html) . Then she'll teach you,
too!

If you are interested in participating or have questions, please
contact Thérèse Hak-Kuhn, the Director ALACE Labor Assistant Training
at toraise6@comcast. net or 804-320-0067.

Thank you so much for your consideration!
Warm regards
Jennifer Fargár
