She just says that she can do everything a doula does. She is very hands on and does a lot more than a midwife should. In my state it is illegal for a midwife to deliver a VBAC and she is doing it anyways. I really trust her. To be honest though if I could afford it I would have a doula rather her feelings or not. Since I'm due around Xmas all of the doulas have jacked their prices up near me for having to be on call around then so I just can't afford it

Illegal to deliver a VBAC!?!? WTH?!?!!? What state is that? How ridiculous.

it s not that far off what is happening here. more and more midwives no longer doing hbac s due to restrictions or fear of being reported for random reasons.
