Operation Special Delivery is a program that is near and dear to my heart. It was one of the things that drew me into the official Doula world. This is how the website describes it's services:
"Operation Special Delivery (or OSD), provides trained volunteer doulas for
pregnant women whose husbands or partners have been severely injured or who have
lost their lives due to the current war on terror, or who will be deployed , or
unable to attend the birth due to military reasons. The doulas that are
volunteering are doing so at a pro bono (free) rate, and are doing so by their
own discretion"
So many of my favorite birth memories are from when I have accompanied a military mother through her "labor day". It is an honor to join such strong, courageous women as they prepare for and give birth to their beautiful babies. At this time I can not offer my services for free, so I am not an official OSD Doula. I prefer to offer my services to OSD qualified couples delivering at Rancho Springs Medical Center and Loma Linda Medical Center Murrieta. Please contact me with any questions.
