EDD and actual day of birth
I have the opportunity to meet with a lovely Doula( we are currently on the search for one for
October and are narrowing down the list).
This lovely Doula is very experienced but will be away until 2 weeks before our EDD.
For your first child, how close to your EDD did you give birth? Were you in labour before or after your EDD?
I'm trying to work out if we should consider this Doula as an option....

Thanks guys,
My gut says its probably a no with this doula. In the meantime we've met another doula who DP liked and so did I but I don't think she's 'it'.
Spoke with doula #4 yesterday and felt a connection but she is away for 1 week up until 12 days before my edd!! Still want to meet her, she will have backup in place.
Does in utero size make a difference as to when babies are born?
Bubs is measuring 2 weeks ahead and is on the 80th percentile. Does that mean she'll more than likely be born early?

An update- Well we decided on the Doula that's away for a week until 12 days before our EDD.
Really clicked with her. We are now in the process of thinking through the backup doula options.
Have done the calmbirth course too. So even if we birth in the week our Doula is away, with all the reading etc we've been doing, we'll be fine.
It's just hard not knowing if we'll need the backup or not!
