To Doula or not to Doula...



Doula comes from the Greek language and refers to a "woman who gives another woman support and assistance."

To Doula?...this is my first birth; I don't always know what questions to ask; I want a great first experience; I want total dedication and personal support.

Not to Doula?...no one in my family that I know of has utilized a doula and there are plenty of kids in the family; it is an investment.

So, clearly the pros outweigh the cons and it's still an investment.  My thoughts so far? Well, I like to think I am doing things organized, correct and with support. Starting motherhood with the support of my mom, sis, sister friends, and a Doula would be a tremendous and lasting experience.

Right now I am in conversation with Doula Jocelyn of http://www.birthgrowthlife.com/.  I'll keep you posted on  what I decide. Stay tuned.
