Have you had a doula? Would you recommend? Please share your experience why/ why not

Question

Answer

i am a doula and had a doula at my first birth and am planning to have one at my birth in september! i would absolutely recommend one. you and your husband can read the birth partner and it has little sections throughout the book to explain how a doula can help both of you during your birth!

Answer

Highly recommend a doula!!! They are totally focused on what you want whether that be completely natural or with a epidural whatever you choose. I personally think it was our best choice. My husband could really enjoy the process and I got taken care of. Loved my doula!!!

Answer

We are going to have a doula..lucky for us my awesome sister in law is one..so I know she will take great care of me and make sure my husband is doing everything he can to make me feel comfortable during the process..and she also works in the hospital where I will be delivering as a unit clerk..so she knows all the nurses..I'm blessed to have her

Answer

It can be very helpful to have someone there for you. Yes you may have your partner or family members but the doula helps a lot. One of the biggest things is staying on track with your birth plan. In the middle of labor you're not going to be thinking about every detail of your birth plan and neither will your partner but the doula is there to speak for you when you can't. They can also help with relaxation and pain relief especially for an unmedicated birth

Answer

I haven't had my baby yet but the doula I've hired has been wonderful. No regrets.
