I haven't heard of that one before, but I am new here

The one that I have read people have used here is from birth source. This is also the one I am planning on getting.

I have the deluxe manager. I like a lot of the stuff in it. I have used many of the forms and feel it was worth the money.

This is the one I hear about doulas using the most and they all seem happy with it. The other one could just be new though.

Hmmm...I hadn't heard about either one. I have seen something similar on ebay.

I haven't seen this one either. I have the one from birth source and one I bought on ebay. I am happy with both of them.

I am eager to hear what people say. I don't have any and was wondering if I should get one. Thanks for asking.

[brilliant]

well i went back to the site and realized that there is absolutely no way to contact the sellers. they have no "contact us" info (unless i'm blind) and so i'm not comfortable purchasing something from them.

i actually wanted to email them to ask exactly what is included in their CD. oh well...

I would. If you you need forms to use, the one from Birth Source is well worth it. It has just about any form you would need. They are all ready to print and use. It also has teaching sheets and accounting sheets. I printed out all of the sheets and put them in a binder.I have both the postpartum and the birth Doulas ones. I think they were well worth the money. It comes on a CD Rom and is very easy to use. It downloads it into the computer so you don't have to hunt down the cd each time you need it.

I hope they put up contact information soon. I have ordered a lot of stuff from them in the past through their old website which is no longer up and I loved all of it!

loveslabor - i think the lack of contact info is an oversight in their new design and i'll keep checking to see if it changes. from the poll on the homepage it seems that not a lot of people are pleased with their new design!
