I find when I explain what a doula is, most people think it's a fantastic idea. There are a few who don't, but these are just the ones who don't understand how valuable a doula would be at a birth.
i agree. even though i havent had one for my own births i think about how i would have felt to have one and i think that every woman should have one.
it would certainly decrease the c/s rates because women wont be bullied or misconcepted (like me) into them by doctors and the like.
