Ganging up on DH to use a doula

Mmm New Years

Sam, great to hear that thread was helpful. There were some wonderful helpful responses in there. My DH read it (suddenly I was thinking, oops did I say anything too awful about him? ) but it must have been ok, given he seems to have come around to my way of thinking...

Hey Kelly

Well ladies I have hit a snag ... not the sensitive new age guy kind either

DH has taken it personally and has given me a heartfelt undertaking he will try much harder and didn't realise he had been such a failure - which is what he heard, and sooooo NOT what I said.

My sister in law (his older sister) is an experienced midwife of 13 or so years and she lives interstate. He did say he would have a chat to her about it - she works in a private hospital on the night shift so is often caring for a few extras at any one time.

I hope she recommends a birth attendant - see what happens.

Ho Hum ....!
