Hello mothers!

I am in training to become a Birth Doula and Breastfeeding Counselor through Childbirth International. Aside from being fascinated by birth (both the physiological and emotional/psychological aspects), I really feel that there is a lack of English support in our area and very few women can afford or plan to go to Seoul where such resources are available.

In an effort to understand different experiences women have had here, as well as gather important information - such as where English speaking Lactation Consultants can be found - I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to fill out the survey. Most of the questions are simple multiple choice with a few areas for commenting.

Thanks for you help!
