This week they have their first doula dilemma, which considers when it may be appropriate to arrange shared care with another doula, rather then having a back-up. There's a question from a doula about supporting someone after a traumatic birth. There's also a section where the listeners are asked to send in suggestions for a trial or task for Siobhan and Kicki. Plus general chit-chat about life.
