Hi. I don't yet live in France but aspire to one day ! I work as a doula and independent childbirth educator. A doula provides emotional and physical support to women and their partnesr during labour - I have heard the term monitrice used in France although a monitrice is slightly different - more like a midwife. Anyway I am wondering if there is any demand for doulas and/or childbirth education focusing on active birth in France (especially among the expat community) ? I would also love to hear your experiences of being pregnant and having a baby in France - good ? bad ? how supported did you feel ? Look forward to any comments. Thanks !
