I labored and delivered so quickly that I really didn't get to use her full service, but just having her there to just focus on me and my wants was wonderful. She had the most angelic voice that put my body to ease. My first delivery was a lot longer and I really wished I had a doula there. I would recommend a doula to anyone.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364492340413272952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953220387795835683.post-71247817538053420982009-06-21T16:11:49.115-07:002009-06-21T16:11:49.115-07:00I had a doula for the birth of my daughter and I p...I had a doula for the birth of my daughter and I plan on having one for the rest of my kids if I am lucky enough to have more! She was WONDERFUL and I am SO glad I did it! She came over at 3 am and stayed with me until 11pm that night when she was born at the hospital. I had been up all night and both my hubby and I were so exhausted. She walked with me, talked me through the difficult times and was extremely encouraging throughout the whole thing. I felt like I needed someone that knew exactly what to do when I was going through the different stages and even though my hubby and I took Bradley together, nothing could replace her experience!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723527116498542056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953220387795835683.post-14643948298315387162009-06-20T06:09:37.693-07:002009-06-20T06:09:37.693-07:00Yay!

The first time around I didn't even know the term doula and the second time my midwife had been a doula before becoming a midwife and I felt quite comfortable with her playing both roles. She was wonderful! She was only there for about an hour before my daughter was born and she was calm, in control and had so many fabulous suggestions to help me through. <br /><br />If I don't get to use her in the future I will definitely be hiring a doula as well as a midwife for my next birth.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117342613760163941noreply@blogger.com
