“Busco una doula”. Esa suele ser la frase que inicia la conversación que puede convertirse en el comienzo de una experiencia compartida de uno de los momentos más únicos e importantes de nuestras vidas: la maternidad. Pero cuando nos hablan de doulas ¿qué es lo primero que se nos viene a la mente? ¿Qué creemos que podemos encontrar en esa persona que se denomina doula? ¿Qué deberíamos esperar de ella? Tal vez pensamos en la figura de una mujer, quizás nos la imaginamos en nuestro parto, puede ser que pensemos en ella como portadora de un compendio de remedios naturales o una “experta” que nos dirá lo que tenemos que hacer o nos protegerá como una madre de la madre que dará a luz… Se leen y escuchan tantas cosas y tan diversas, que a veces es complicado llegar a la raíz de esta figura que ofrece un servicio que pocas personas conocen o entienden realmente. Y que tampoco es sencillo de aportar. Buscar una doula nos puede parecer un “capricho”, o el deseo de disponer de la figura de moda para tener la maternidad de moda o ideal. Porque ya tenemos quien atienda la maternidad, ¿por qué buscar a alguien más? ¿Para qué? ¿Son las doulas algo nuevo o que depende de una moda? ¿Están las doulas siempre en los partos? ¿Tenemos una doula para conseguir un tipo de parto o crianza concreto? ¿Son de verdad expertas en las maternidades de otras mujeres? ¿Tienen relación real con las terapias o remedios naturales? En definitiva, ¿qué hay de real y de ficción en lo que nos llega habitualmente sobre las doulas? De la mano de los conocimientos y experiencias de la doula, educadora infantil y titulada en Atención Temprana Beatriz Fernández, descubriremos las realidades de las doulas en la historia. Viajaremos desde los orígenes y las primeras referencias históricas de las doulas para ver su evolución a lo largo del tiempo y cómo se ha adaptado a la realidad de la maternidad, las familias y las mujeres. Entenderemos lo que realmente implica acompañar y por qué esa palabra parece estar presente en cada vez más servicios y espacios (y si está bien utilizada realmente). Conoceremos la realidad legal, de los límites éticos y del día a día de la doula. Y descubriremos así cuantos mitos y falsas creencias hay respecto a las doulas y su papel en la maternidad. Porque seguramente la doula no es ni hace la mayoría de las cosas que creemos o nos han contado. Porque la doula no crea ni dirige maternidades, no las salva ni las protege. La doula las acompaña en el más claro y profundo sentido de la palabra.
"I'm looking for a doula" is often the beginning of a shared experience for one of the most unique and important moments of our lives: motherhood. But when we talk about doulas, what is the first thing that comes to our minds? What do you expect from a doula? Perhaps we think of the figure of a woman, perhaps we imagine her in our labor or think of her as the bearer of a compendium of natural remedies or an "expert" who will tell us what we have to do or will protect us. So much has been said about doulas that it is sometimes difficult to get to the roots of the service she offers. Looking for a doula may seem like a "whim", or the desire to have a fashionable figure or ideal motherhood. Since we already have someone who attends maternity, why look for someone else? Are doulas something new or is it just a fad? Are doulas always at births? Do we have a doula to achieve a specific type of childbirth or parenting? Are they really experts in the maternities of other women? Do they have a real relationship with therapies or natural remedies? Hand in hand with the knowledge and experiences of the doula, Child Educator and graduate in Early Care Beatriz Fernández, we will discover the realities of doulas in Spain and in history. We will travel from the origins and the first historical references of doulas to see their evolution over time. We will understand what it really means to accompany and why that word seems to be present in more and more services and spaces nowadays. We will learn about the legal reality, the ethical limits and the day-to-day life of the doula.
