Hi Everyone,
I live in The Netherlands where I had DS1 13 months ago. I am now 18w with my second baby and am considering using a doula. The reason for this is that I have to be looked after and then give birth at a particular hospital due to a medical indication, however, the first birth was pretty awful and I don't really want to go back there without a lot more support than I had the first time. As I won't get this support from the hospital itself, I have thought about hiring a Doula. They're quite expensive, and this will be a stretch for us, but I can also feel my stress level rising as I think about my first experience and the potential of a similar experience again the second time round. So I'm writing to ask if any of you have any doula stories (good or bad) or advice on choosing a doula?
Thanks for your help.
