Anyone had a doula and a midwife attend their homebirth? Just wondering what role the doula played. I am much more undecided this time about who i want at the birth. I kinda know what i don't want. and even if i think of a descriptor of who i do want, i don't know someone who matches the description itms. How much do doulas charge?
I had a choice between two midwives for this birth - one that works with other midwives and two attend your birth, and the other midwife brings a doula instead.

There was $500 difference between their costs. I chose the two midwives, one for me, and one for the baby - just in case. Doulas are great at supporting women during childbirth but would they know how to handle a PPH if that happened at the same exact time as the baby stopped breathing and needed medical attention? I'm going with what is the safest option for me - and thats two midwives.
