Birth partners: Lend me your ears!

I am actively seeking birth partners in California for interviews!  My research is on how birth partners prepare for birth and their roles, goals, and support strategies in supporting a mom through birth.  Sorry, doulas -- though I value your work, I am interested in the non-professional kind of birth partner.

Interviews last 30-45 minutes and are compensated with a $10 gift card to Amazon.

A birth partner is someone who was, or expects to be, in a role of emotional, physical, and/or informational support for a woman in labor.

You are eligible if:

• You are expecting to be a birth partner in the next 3 months (i.e., the mom is in her 3rd trimester, or 26 weeks along); or you have been a birth partner less than 4 months ago.
• The birth takes place (or plans to take place) in California.
• You have never had a baby yourself.
• You can dedicate 30-45 minutes of time.

Please contact me directly (phdoula <> gmail dot com)  or post a comment below.  Thanks!
