(And, even though it is, I'm half regretting not looking into one.) I love the idea of having someone who really knows about all of this and who is just there for me. Such a great idea....Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828936673145226848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-30527362317111277942008-03-11T14:21:00.000-07:002008-03-11T14:21:00.000-07:00i like the idea of a doula too. k can be bossy and...i like the idea of a doula too. k can be bossy and i might drop kick him. that's do good and not easy to do when you're in labor!<BR/><BR/>it sounds like things are moving right along. <BR/><BR/>yea.christina(apronstrings)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11806155985753148490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-53328894039772352672008-03-11T09:20:00.000-07:002008-03-11T09:20:00.000-07:00I'd like to find a doula for the twins birth, but ...I'd like to find a doula for the twins birth, but our move so close to things may make it complicated. Although that may be the exact reason to do it!<BR/><BR/>And even though I was all bound to be "crunchy granola" for my son's birth ... I still turned down the mirror! I don't really know why, but when they asked I immediately said no. I don't really regret it, but I'm not sure whether I'll feel the same this time.<BR/><BR/>Love the limerick!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820367683886240551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-9440414627389398212008-03-10T19:47:00.000-07:002008-03-10T19:47:00.000-07:00I am a doula (became one after the birth of my fir...I am a doula (became one after the birth of my first kiddo) and have hired a doula for the birth of my second child (due any minute). Needless to say I think they ROCK. Although my husband is actually great during labor and delivery, I don't want him to have to worry about anything other than enjoying the birth of our baby. And although I have a lot of knowledge, I need to be able to just shut down and labor. Congrats on hiring one! You won't regret it.<BR/><BR/>http://kirland.typepad.comKirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612769787123772839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-8537602933108790472008-03-10T16:08:00.000-07:002008-03-10T16:08:00.000-07:00I LOVE the limerick!Unfortunately, I can't add it ...I LOVE the limerick!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I can't add it to the vote bar without deleting all the votes already cast.<BR/><BR/>But I added it to the post so that people can comment.<BR/><BR/>I hope you -- and Cowboy -- have a smooth ride.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-49786762096881822602008-03-10T14:58:00.000-07:002008-03-10T14:58:00.000-07:00YES!

And back when I thought I could have a somewhat natural-ish birth plan (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) I also wanted someone there familiar w/ the medical lingo and to support me in making decisions.<BR/><BR/>When everything went to hell and we had to schedule the c-section we decided we didn't need her there, and we wanted to save some $$, but I LOVE the idea and have heard great things from friends who had doulas.<BR/><BR/>Hey did I tell you BeBop always talks of moving to Portland?Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200039011136695507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-79194457987113809862008-03-10T14:39:00.000-07:002008-03-10T14:39:00.000-07:00I love the idea of a doula.

This was the first attempt at IVF ( I had previously fallen pregnant easily and only after the big miscarriage had any difficulty with falling pregnant, I was trying to ensure the trauma of my 2nd tri m/c wasn't somehow stopping me -mentally- fall pregnant again, I know, sounds nuts)<BR/>Anyway, the hypnotist was also a doula, she was amazing! I was quite sceptical at first but I loved her totally by the end. I was so absolutely relaxed and confident in her, I would definitely want her with me. I reckon if anyone could help keep the process as natural and calm it would be her.<BR/>Actually, now that I'm writing this I'm realising that this was during the down regs for IVF1, the one where I fell pregnant during the down regs, as in the same week as I saw her. Not to self, go back to her pronto!<BR/>Anyway, that was a very long comment to say I think a doula is a fantastic idea regardless of Cowboys medical confidence. If it takes the pressure of this then even more so.<BR/>Hope this makes sense :-)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454167446758199344noreply@blogger.com
