If I hired a doula to advocate for me in a medical setting, I'd be glad I had someone willing to put themselves between me and someone crossing boundaries that I've put in place. This would enable my husband to stay by my side while I remain focused on the task at hand. There are those who say this isn't the role of a doula, and for some it's not. However, I would hire a doula for this *alone* if not for the multitude of other benefits they offer. The doula advocating for the patient/client per their request is *not* the problem within the medical establishment; the one crossing the boundaries that have been established is where the problem lies. As the birther, I would like to say that *anyone* crossing boundaries that the client has put in place is the only one "out of scope." Attendants of birth, learn who's the final authority. It's not the doctor, the nurse, the midwife, or the doula - it's the birther and whom the birther has entrusted their voice to and them *alone.*

As a birthkeeper, this is the role I would fill for any of my clients. The birther has final say and I am willing to fight for you, or encourage and remind you of your own voice if you prefer. No one else determines what scope I provide but me, and no one else determines what lengths I will go but the birther I support.

I'm a birthkeeper.

And ill add another. Never stand higher than the birther. Doing so can be a bit intimidating n birther may not feel in charge with someone standing over them. I know i dont :)
