What is a doula? What value does she provide? Please give us your feedback. We'd love to hear your experiences with a doula during labor and birth.

Excellent article in my opinion.

Excellent! I hope more women will find out about doulas and utilize them in their birthing time. Research is beginning to reveal just how valuable they really are! I hope to have one at our next birth, to help advocate for me and the choices I've made and also to support my hubby in supporting me so that he can be as involved as he wants to be (or not) and is not afraid.

Thank you for the kind feedback. We did not have a doula at our first birth, but for future birth situations it will certainly be considered to hire a doula.
