doulas

[doulamommy]

Are any of you mommas planning to use a doula or have you with a previous pregnancy?  I'm planning on hiring one but my hubby is afraid he'll get left out if I do.  Thoughts?

If I remember right its Dona.

That's awesome. If you don't mind my askingwhich doula organization is she certifying through? Dona or cappa or alace?

My doula is becoming certified so she has 75% of her training done :). Lol guys.

Thank you!  I tried top tell him that. What's funny is that I'm in training top become a doula and he's making me second guess myself.

A doula doesn't take the place of your partner they just give you educational, emotional, and physical support and they are there with you and your partner 1-2 hrs after birth and she will see you when your home for postpartum too. I'm trying for a vba3c in April, I'm 32.3 weeks and I just love my doula, she's very helpful and I can ask questions if I needed too. Its worth it I think!! They are always wanting the fathers to be part if it too :)
