Care & Support

[jezebelesque]

I don't know how much care & support I want for this pregnancy & birth.  I thought for sure I'd want a midwife or two at the birth.  Definitely one for pregnancy care but for the birth?  I'm not sure now.  I thought I'd want a doula, but I don't think I do anymore.  I know how I am, and I know I'll fall back on the midwife/doula instead of relying

Surely a doula is there to make sure yu get what you want, and to get you and everyone else to stick with your birthplan as much as possible! If you choose to go with a doula make sure you tell her this whole story!

Thank you, I will tell the doula should I decide to have one :)

If a doula tries to make you do stuff you don't want, they aren't a good doula! But I know you know this :)

I hope you get the birth you dream of!

I'm definitely hiring a midwife, still not sure about a doula. If I was planning a hospital birth then I would definitely want a doula. I don't think I need one with a midwife, though?

Thank you!!

I may have someone who you can talk to, who would be open to "helping" you have the kind of experience you desire. As soon as I have all her information I can email it to you if you'd like.

That would be great, thank you!
