What is a Doula and What do they do?
Ok so I'm fairly new to the term "Doula" I realise they are someone who comes into the birthing room with you and supports you through your birthing plan.
But apart from that, what else do they do? What if you dont have a plan?
I'm thinking about having a Doula for my 2nd birth, someone to be there with myself and my mother. My DP is unlikely to attend.
Thing is, I dont have a plan as such... I plan to go with the flow and use whatever I feel is necessary to ensure the safe delivery of my child.
Also is there anyone who will attend a birth at KEMH in Perth? I like the idea of helping a student Doula, as I'll have my mum there anyway.
I feel so stupid asking....
