the ultimate doula booklist

as a doula, i need to stay on top of current research, trends and practises but i also need to understand the history of childbirth around the world. these books are familiar to most birth professionals and they are wonderful resources for any woman.

if anyone who loves me is reading this, please feel free to buy me any of these books! (used is just fine by the way! )
