I can imagine a Doula would be awesome for the fact they are experienced when it comes to birth support. If I didn't have DF or feel comfortable with family or friends I am sure I would use one. ]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:52:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388514&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388514 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388507&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388507 Author: mybeautiful3

Hayz - no problems asking - yes I am a Doula - and always keen to know if people know about Doulas, the benefits of using one etc :)]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:47:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388507&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388507 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388329&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388329 Author: mizpix

I had a "birth support" partner at my sons birth as I had no partner.While she fulfilled the role that the father should have, I think she was way better as she understood what I was feeling and knew better what massage etc helped.She also was able to answer questions I had and lots of other little things.I'm guessing a doula would do much the same, so I'd be all for it!]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:01:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388329&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388329 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388287&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388287 Author: Hayz001

I totally would (i'm not preg, but have thought a bit about what i'd like for the next birth). I hadn't really considered it until we had a Doula facilitate our SPACE session - I asked her 101 questions and was totally sold on the idea. I think i'd also go for a homebirth next time so I think they'd be great in that circumstance.

Purely out of interest, can I ask why you're asking (hope that doesn't sound rude)? I assumed when I saw the title it was someone considering one for themselves - but when I saw your signature I was a wee bit surprised - perhaps you're keen to get some ideas on how they're viewed in general?]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:39:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388287&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388287 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388249&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388249 Author: mybeautiful3

Is anyone using one - or considering using one as support for their birth?]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:36:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40502&PID=1388249&title=using-a-birth-doula#1388249
