A member asked:
How to become a midwife and a doula, does such really exist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They do exist: Certified nurse midwives/practtioners actually go through a rigorous education/training process and take a certification exam. They are at the "top of the class" for non physician OB healthcare. Doulas and general midwives have less training.
