Hi Again ladies!
an update!
A few of the Doula's that I had emailed actually did email me back (emailed before I started this thread) and we got talking about how she (the doula) was going to make it to the birth...
I politely declined the doula offering her services for 150 per night waiting time! lol, but another doula has been coming up with ideas about how we can make it work...

Such ideas included having a private midwife for a home birth, anyway to cut the story short, the MW who she has been talking to about me had her own plane! and is offering to pick up the doula on the way out!
Firstly I have to say, even though I havent actually employed the doula she is going out of her way to come up with a solution which I am LOVING!!!!

So.... now the question is...

Apart from travel costs, what do you think the price would be for a MW for a birth only, because it might be a bit difficult for her to provide pre and post natal care due to our distance (and the RFDS will fly in every month and do that anyway)

and just theorising... what do you think she is likely to charge me for the plane?? (it's about an hour and a half flight)
