Welcome to the Lending Library!
Here at Stumptown Doulas we believe in the concept that knowledge and understanding gives us power. When it comes to birth, these two attributes help aid a laboring woman with the information she needs in order to know what she wants and prefers for her birth. We realize, though, that books can be limited, hard to find, and, even if ordered, may not arrive in time to read through them before the big day. So we created the Lending Library.
Below is a list of all the books in our Library. Topics range from pregnancy and birth to overall health success, various diets and addiction recovery. No topic is off limits for our families. Stumptown Doulas' Clients may have access to these items from the time of hire, through the end of their Doula services with us.
If you are interested in being lent one or more of the books below, please reach out to us through the contact page, or ask your Stumptown Doula directly.
*Please note that Stumptown Doulas respects the fact that everyone has different opinions and beliefs behind pregnancy, birth, postpartum, how to care for their baby, themselves and their family, etc. We provide books with a wide range of different concepts and viewpoints in order to accommodate all. Many of these have been requested by our Clients for us to stock. If you don't see something that you would like to read, please let us know and we can look into getting a copy to add to the Library.*
