My friend Jill called all excited to hear that doulas had been mentioned on Oprah...I agree - to have a celebrity say that she had a birth where she was surrounded by women, including her doula & pause to make sure Oprah knew what it was...well, that's good stuff.

See for yourself in this clip from Huffington Post. The part I'm talking about starts at minute 2:33 of the clip. Check it out!

Nicole Kidman

...just told Oprah that she had a doula! The 41 year old calls her first birth experience "extraordinary" and "easy". Nice to hear...and she uses a sling too....way to go!

In an interview, she said,

"There's something very primal about giving
birth. It puts you in a state of being very raw."

Giving birth (to baby Sunday Rose) was easy, by the way.

...the star...has yet to hire a
daytime nanny. "I'd heard horror stories of 40 hours of labor, and I was
sure that would be me, but I had a very easy labor"
