They can make sure everything is in alignment so that bubs has a good chance of getting in a good position. Also if you have any back pain or anything, they can help with that too.

Mine also knows some inducing points when I reach 40 weeks, so I'm not sure if thats something all of them know or just her - cos she's pretty darn special!
My mum does massage and some alignment (but she lives in Cairns) and she is coming down in Feb, so she can make sure that i am in alignment, but she's not sure any other reason the doula would want me to go ... perhaps I should just ask her again!!
