5) Agreement*
- We understand that the doula takes a limited number of clients per month in a reasonable attempt to ensure that she can make it to every client's birth without much chance of overlap or extreme fatigue. This means that she turns away potential clients once her calendar is full for that month. If a client, at the last moment decides that they do not wish to have a the services of a doula then there is usually not enough time for the doula to fill the vacant spot.

- If the doula fails to attend the birth because of unforeseen circumstances such as rapid labour, C-section or failure to call, she will still be paid the full contract amount.
Accept Terms and Conditions*
- I (Mother) agree that I have reviewed and agreed to the above terms and conditions.
