Soul,

With my first I went through 3 shift changes at the hospital and don;t recall being really well supporte by any of them.

My 2nd although an induction was brilliant and she was with me from the beginning of the induction through to him being delivered, just as she had promised me she would even though he was born 30 mins after her clock off time.

I can still to this day remember her eyes and only her as I was pushing with my OB in the back ground, but she was the one getting the messages through to me iykwim.

The 3rd one I don't even remember her name as I was only there for 15 mins before he was born and I was more peeved that she didn't ring my OB when she first did an internal and I was already 8 cm dilated in 60 mins, but left it a few more contractions to ring him by which time he missed the birth.

I do know the precise moment my doula arrived though, even though I was in the middle of pushing and not a word was said I just "knew" she had arrived and all was well!
