What the heck is a doula? Is homebirth safe?

Two Women "This sculpture expresses the special relationship between friends, sisters, mothers, and daughters, being held, feeling safe and excepted, giving warmth and support to each other. A soothing image in times of uncertainty." Would this not be a perfect gift for your doula or your midwife - a special person who has helped you through a life changing event. This moving piece is 8.5"w x 7.5"d x 6.5"h and weighs 4 lbs. These sculptures are drop shipped from California and take approximately 5 - 7 days to arrive. Attachments is pleased to offer these gorgeous sculptures by Sigrid Herr. These sculptures are made from resin, a synthetic polymer. Compared to concrete, resin is superior, especially in terms of durability. In the manufacturing process, the cast resin pieces are coated with steel, in the form of an atomized powder. The sculptures then get dampened with a solution of salt and vinegar to begin oxidation. No toxic chemicals are involved. The result is a piece that will look equally well in your office, home or garden. If you decide to place your sculpture outside, the appearance of the surface will change over time under the influence of the weather. You can brush or wipe off the rust, but oxidation will continue with exposure to moisture. If preferred, the rusting process may be stopped by spraying the piece with a flat, or semi-gloss, clear varnish (the artist discourages using high-gloss varnish..) Your sculpture should do well in rain and temperatures above freezing; however, under harsh winter conditions, the expansion and contraction of ice in crevices may crack the piece. It is, therefore, recommended you bring the sculpture inside when freezing temperatures threaten. #HERR-2W $140.00 Message Pendants by Beth Goss These sterling silver pendants are the perfect gifts for midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, and mothers-to-be.
