Doulapodi44. Miten doula synnyttää?Miten doula synnyttää? Voiko doula doulata itseään? Pitäisikö jokaisella doulalla olla doula? Anna-Riitan kanssa jaksossa keskustelevat doulat Vilma Kuikka ja Mari Pihlajaharju, jotka odottivat kuopuksiaan doulakoulutuksensa edetessä. Pohdimme millaisia paineita synnytysammattilaiset saattavat kokea, mitä hyötyjä ja haittoja on siitä, että ammattilaiset jakavat omia kokemuksiaan ja miten omat kokemukset ja näkemykset ovat olleet erilaisia aikana ennen doulaopintoja ja niiden jälkeen. Millaisia stereotypioita liittyy doulien synnytyksiin ja miten ihmeessä tunnistaa, tekeekö jotain asiaa omasta sisäisestä halusta käsin vai vain yhteisön normeja kuuliaisesti noudattaen?
