I would have a few alarm bells about a MW who doesn't want a doula. What are her reasons?

I also had two MWs as the MWs I worked with only work that way to ensure they're covered in a "one for mother and one for baby" situation. But I also had a student MW who did all the stuff PZ mentioned for a doula except she stayed away from me as I had my connection with my H and MWs. She got me snacks (cut up icypoles into bite size pieces) and made me post-natal tea and prepared my peri-soak bath and all these little things. She also watched my son in another room as he didn't want to come in. She was great!

How are you feeling eenee? I think drinking smoothies is a great idea. And can someone make you a big pot of chicken broth? VERY healing and has all the amino acids you need without having to eat
