I still don't know what to say

The OB who attended the 40 hour birth two weeks ago sent me a referral!

Actually, one of her partners did, with the comment that I was an amazing doula. Which means she was talking about me to someone else (!)

LOL, I was not expecting this. I don't see myself as an OB's doula. So this is quite interesting to me.

Business is booming at the moment. I may be double booked for April as well! There's a birth explosion!

You should say "I rock!"
Seriously, that is awesome news, you should be really proud. Hearing things like this gives me real hope for the kind of maternity care our daughters will come to expect for themselves in the future.

Send a thank you note for sure!!! Even bring some cookies. Having an OB, even a group of OBs on your side is GREAT. A definite thank you is in order! Awesome!

That's great!

Yeah, birth explosion... Seems I'm ending up taking part in that, too... One day, though, I'll just be an observer of birth explosions!
