We hired a Doula when I was about 3 months along. Mainly because my mum is not around and I have no other family or friends that I can lean on for support. And DH is great but he and I fed of each others emotions a bit so I thought it was a smart move to hire a doula for both of our sakes. And I am so pleased we did. She is great! Now that we are having a CS though I am not sure if she will be aloud to come in with us during the delivery. Has anyone else been aloud 2 support people during a CS? We are delivering at Sydney South West Private (Liverpool Private NSW). I would really like some video and photo's of the delivery so she would be great to do that while DH stays with me.
