I've been hearing this when I was pregnant but never really pushed through with it. I liked the idea but with the tons of challenges I've had with regards to my bf's addiction, financial difficulties and anxieties of a first time mum, I didn't go for it. I am incredibly thankful to my mum for being one of the greatest support system during my pregnancy and I'm thinking that doulas are of really big help to other who lacks emotional support during pregnancy and childbirth.
So my question is, are you going to have a birth doula in your next pregnancy? Do you have any ideas on how much they charge? Or do you want to be trained as one?
Cheers!
