Do You Need a Doula?
If you’re planning a natural childbirth, you may want to consider hiring a doula. A doula is a birthing assistant, who basically mothers YOU during childbirth. She is not a medical professional, but a support person who helps you with breathing techniques, decision making, and interactions with your medical professionals. If you have visions of a birth where someone applies essential oils, massages your back, wipes your forehead, or helps you work up the energy to push one more time, a doula may be right for you. She works with you and your partner to help you achieve the birth experience you desire.
This site has more information about doulas, including how to find one in your area.
