Long births are the name of the game in doula work. We intentionally try to minimize the risk by high quality education, offering support from a distance until active labor commences, and putting clauses in our contracts. But somehow, we still hit those births that last 24+ hours. Ever experience birth hangover?

Once our hearts are buried deep beneath the game, we lose ourselves - our identity, our dreams, and why we really began this career anyway.

How often does our work become our life? What we loved in the beginning is starting to feel like a heavy burden. Ever been there as a doula?
