Birth and Doulas (Was (AND) )

[Guest guest]

I was very fortunate. I had a hospital birth with a certified nurse midwife,

I also had a birth plan a very strong sense (and education) about what I did

and did NOT want . AND I had a doula. My doula was such an IMMENSE help in

so many ways! I recommend every woman have one at her baby's births

(hospital or home)!

I'm lucky too here Chris, I have an OB and a CNM and I get to make the

choices about my birth. The birthing center at the hospital even has a

water birth tub, couldn't use it last time since they broke my water and I

had meconium in the fluid, (they had to monitor AJ closely for distress) but

maybe this time?
