Doula’s?? Your experience?

Question

My husband is really loving the idea of getting a doula, but for me I’m just think “thats more money to spend. “Which is opposite for us because he’s the money thinker lol but I’m curious, does anyone currently have or had a doula? Is it worth the money?

Answer

We decided to go with a doula and it was a fantastic decision! I wanted to go for a natural birth, but ended up having to go into L&D after my water had broken and I needed to be induced. Welp that meant by-bye birth plan at the birthing center. 
My doula was an advocate for me at the hospital, made sure I had a birth ball and a peanut ball. Helped walk around with me as I was now hooked up to wires. Helped provide support for my husband as I had now been in labor for 36 hours and he needed a break. I cannot express enough how much I appreciated having someone there for me, an advocate just focused on YOU. Powerful stuff : )

Answer

I’m getting one because they are trained in pain management techniques and know how to best support you. And if something goes wrong you have someone who is not as emotionally invested in you to help keep things calm.

Answer

We are going with one since it’s our first time, we don’t have family close by (I would love if my nurse cousin could be my coach like she was for her sister but we live 3.5 hours away!) and my husband has a weak stomach so I’m not sure how much he’ll be able to do in the delivery room

Answer

Doulas are definitely worth it!
