OMFG

I. AM. LIVID.

Remember the doula with poor judgment who tried to refriend me on FB the other day? I just got a generic email from her, as follows:

Hello,


As You know, each labor and birth is as unique as the individuals involved. Different situations require different techniques. While I hope that my presence was as helpful as you anticipated, I know that I learn from each birth I attend. Please take a moment to share your thoughts and feelings about your birth. I would love to have a detailed account of your perspective of the birth, but short answers are fine too (In fact, shorter answers are preferred to putting the questionnaire aside until "you have more time!"). Thank you for taking the time to help me be the best doula I can be!


I know that some of you gave birth a long time ago, but if you would take a few moments to fill out my evaluation I would really appreciate it.

It then had a link to some automated survey or something.


I responded with this:

Lisa,

It feels beyond insensitive for you to include us in a generic email request such as this. Please remove us from your list.

I'd say I'm letting her off softly. Is it just me, or do I have every right to be totally offended by her cluelessness? Even if she were "the perfect" doula and our baby had died, don't you think it would be odd for me to want to fill out a survey about our birth?
