[Solved] Identify Possible Educational Opportunities

Begin with a health history related to your work as a doula:

• What is their general health like?
• What has their health been like during this pregnancy?
• Do they have any concerns regarding their health that may impact your care?
• Allergies? Phobias? Many people are afraid of needles in particular.
• Do they have a history of emotional problems?
• What health practices do they have (this includes diet and exercise)?
• Describe previous pregnancies and births?

Also include:

• Questions that the client has about birth/labor
• Their goals for this birth
• What role they would like a doula to play (you can present them with the handout you made earlier on what a doula is)
• What role their spouse, children, or other support persons may have

Lastly, identify possible educational opportunities that you would address at other meetings
