More like the result of a sexual thing.

I have to ask. Can you tell me more about your birth and how you were at 10cm for days? I'm a midwife, and my mind is boggling.

Because it's not a midwife. Midwives have medical training. Doulas do not.

What about a quarter-wife?

A doula is a like a friend who comes to your birth

Not true, a Doula has extensive training. The only difference is the use of medication etc… it’s usually done naturally at home or in water. Doulas also have a lower rate of incidences.

Someone can get a certificate to become a doula in a month, I wouldn’t say it’s extensive training. They focus on the emotional and physical support and don’t have any medical training. A good support person/doula is invaluable during the birthing process, especially during the early stages. Every woman should have one.

A midwife is a nurse who has a masters in Midwifery so like a little OB ( doctor of pregnancy. They do easy births and Ob's do births that have more risk of the baby or mom not being OK

Well, sylvanticx, you would be. That's part of the definition of woke, you're offended by anything that doesn't conform to your wokeness, or even worse offended on behalf of others.

Wow they were joking. You're awfully sensitive. And that's not what "woke" actually means. It refers to someone who is "awake" to / acknowledges their privileges and is not blind to systemic inequality. Why does the right have to put such a negative spin on being respectful of other people? It's like saying that being PC is bad, but being PC is just not being a d1ck.

Back in the dark ages when I was a pup, we used to call it having ones consciousness raised. Apparently it didn't happen.

That’s one definition.

I'm not really sensitive, but fair play, I missed the sarcasm there. That might be what the literal intention of the term woke is, but we all know in practice that those people who are that mentally challenged to feel guilty about their advantages in life instead of just appreciate them, also want to force that feeling onto everyone else who has any degree of comfort in theirs. It's ridiculous. There will always be people who are better off than others, and they shouldn't feel bad about it, most of them are good people who work for their privileges and to pass them onto their children. Appreciation for what you have is appropriate, guilt is not, unless you "identify" as a 17th century self flagellation puritan who believes pleasure is evil. And don't get me started on PC, it's just censorship of free speech by social means. Noone should have to choose their words so carefully that they ensure not to offend anyone, anywhere, ever. It's not being a d**k to not care about ery snowflake.
