a doula is not the same as a midwife... doulas are trained professionals helping women through the delivery they don't actually deliver the baby. while this isn't always the case with doulas... kayln chose to give birth un- medicated... and she credits her support team with helping her do it. kayln heetland says, "i wanted to feel what birth was and i'm so glad i did, because after the recovery time is easy. i mean, the pain is only for hours and then it's gone when they're here in your arms." hear more about kayln's experience tonight at 10 on your health matters... and i'll tell you more about the rise in popularity of doulas in our area. m: raising children can be a confusing... with so many do's and don'ts. one of the modern questions coming up involves phones and computers. recent data suggests that letting young kids use one of those devices might actually be a good thing. adam mccoy explains in today's health minute.

that's different than a midwife - doulas don't deliver babies, they help mom labor, often, using natural pain management techniques. kalyn says, "stephanie was kind of the one to tell me what was going on to kind of keep me in the moment. and then cacie, just having her slow-dance or hug me during a contraction and rub my back and just kind of be there for me, hands-on, just helped me so much." more young siouxland moms are chosing to have a doula present for their delivery - whether at a hospital, like kalyn, or at home. just a few years ago, there was only one certified birth doula in sioux city. now, there are seven, a few of which office out of this space, "enlightened beginnings," on morningside avenue. doululstephanie winegardner attributes the t tnd to more educated moms-to-be. stephahae says, "research ows having a doulas can decrease your chance of having a induced, of having all those other interventions that people don't want. and it shows that outcomes in mom's mental status are a birth, because they've had a good experience." and if you're wondering where the equation, these

you go in order to have your wound dilated by this midwife's. and all those girls would end up in the hospital near death and i have always wondered even though i was young why i didn't think something was unusual about that. and it was not until many years later when the feminist movement began to help women to understand that they have a right to make choices in and they have a right to good health care and all of that. i thought about all of those young women who were near death and we just consider that that is the way that life is. we didn't rebel, we didn't talk about it, we didn't do anything. and so when they begin to really make this discussion take place in this country, i always felt a little bit guilty that i had not understood, you know, for so many years why women had the right to good health care and why didn't we have the right to good health care and why didn't we know that there was something awfully wrong with the way that women were sneaking young girls putting their lives on the line. >> smack this book is dedicated to docto

and so i do remember in the years in which i trained to become a nurse/midwife, which i ultimately used in my career as a reproductive rights advocate, those women who did not have that choice, the women of the '60s, who did not have the choice to a safe pregnancy termination. and yes, they did turn to means that would kill them. yes, they did turn to potions and shadowy figures that promised them a safe pregnancy termination that often resulted in their sterilization, if not the death of the woman involved. why anyone could devalue women in such a way that would allow us to return that day to any woman, why any woman in this country should encounter the prospect of having an unintended pregnancy, an unwanted pregnancy, and not have the capability of turning to a safe, legal health provider and seeing that pregnancy terminated... 90% of them terminated in this country now in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. why we as advocates are allowing these conditions to develop as they did before 1973 is just absolutely baffling. >> hinojosa: so what does the new modern women's movement need to lo
