You're a what?

I am so lucky I have a job I love.  I love it so much, I usually find a way to bring it up in every conversation, to the point, that I if I had a mouth-bibliometer (I just made that word up) I probably say "doula" at least 30 times. 

Like today for instance...
Picture

I was called by a friendly warranty sales rep named Mike.  15 minutes into the conversation (see, I even talk to sales people!)  he says, "You're a what?"  I mentioned I was a birth doula and was not sure of my yearly mileage (his question to me), as I recently moved to a new city, and was unsure of the mileage I would accrue. 

He eventually got back to his own line of questioning, but for 6-7 minutes, he wanted to know what I did, when parent's typically hire me, and if I was the only one of my kind (ha!).  He said, "My wife just had a baby 3 months ago and we want another child soon, and I now want a doula.  How do I get a doula for my wife?!"  I invited him to email me with his location, and I'd put him in touch with some awesome doulas in his area. 

What a trip!  I loved it!  If only he lived closer to me!

But now I'm curious.  You are here on this page for a reason.  How did you learn about doulas?  When did you know you wanted one?
