Hi Carmen, I had a chat to some North American doulas who found out about some doulas in Quebec! I think if you called them they might be able to help you get in touch with whoever is nearest to your area. If your obstetrician is against you having extra support that might help you remain calm and confident during your birth, perhaps you might need a different obstetrician? It is your right to choose what you feel will help you and support you best during your birth. You might decide that working with your obstetrician and foregoing the doula is in your best interests; or you might decide that hiring your own doula and choosing a different obstetrician or place of birth will be better for you. Ultimately, do what pleases you - not the obstetrician, because it is you that is in charge of your birth, not the doctor. Good luck with your decision-making and I hope your birth goes really great. Here's the numbers for some of the doulas if you feel like sounding them out:
