Do you have a doula or used one previously?

Question

What was your experience?

Answer

Indispensable. I had one last time and even though her use was limited due to an emergency c section, I felt so much more confident about the whole thing. I have one again this time though with corona, looks like I may not even get to use them again. But it was worth the assurance to me either way.

Answer

I had one for my first and I didn’t care for having her there after it was all said and done. 
It wasn’t that I had a “bad experience” but she kind of came in and just took over. Told my husband what to do as far as where to stand, she kept touching me after I asked her not to, etc. 
This baby will just be my husband and I in the room. I think I just picked the wrong one, but she wouldn’t stop talking to the dr the entire time I was pushing about irrelevant stuff...it was a nightmare for me personally. We had met on several occasions before and was not the same person once we were in the delivery room.

Answer

I just hired one, I’m incredibly excited to have her there helping to support us

Answer

I didn't get to hire her for my first, but this time I did. She checks up on me, right now, but not much will happen until the third trimester and end. I am really hoping I get to have two people in the room by August. I'm excited to have her there.
