Doulas and Natural Birth

Emily • Married in the spring of 2015 to my best friend for life! Had our beautiful baby girl late summer of 2016 ❤️ I work as a PTA in rural community. Loving life and hoping to create more love in my life! Pregnant with baby number two! Due in the fall of 2019
So I'm very interested in attempting an all natural birth in a hospital setting. This is my first pregnancy (due Sept 3rd), so I'm considering having a doula there as added support and guidance. I was just wondering if anyone out there that has used a doula or has had a natural birth, had any recommendations, advice, stories, etc. I really just want to be as prepared as I can be to have a successful natural birth. Any help is appreciated!! 😊
