Homebirth General Discussion #15

[Eenee]

I am so sorry The Mrs. Not sure if i missed you, or you fell off the list at same point. I just quote it each time, but maybe i quoted an old list.

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 student midwife both times as well as my MW and second MW (which usually came later), I don't feel I need a doula as my MW was pretty good at filling the role.

Thanks for the suggestions girls on the smoothies etc. but I'm dairy free which makes it hard. I have a dairy free protein powder which my MW wants me to be taking (as my diet is particularly lacking in protein) and it just tastes awful, the texture is horrid and makes me gag I haven't found a way to consume it yet...I have another appointment with MW on Thursday as my issues with food are just getting worse and considering there's a long way to go until Bub is due I don't know how much longer I can keep it up. I hate my mental health issues but they seem to be consuming me at the moment. I honestly don't know what can be done though, I feel like a bit of a lost cause.
