Thanks very much. I am going to be a public patient. I would really love to have anther woman I know beside me during the birth. I don't really have any girlfriends that want to come in and I am not close to my mother in that way.

Ideally I would love to have a drug free, intervention free birth, however I will go with whatever is best for bubs .

Any ideas where I can find student doulas who would go to Mater Mothers? Is it too early to start looking?

Thanks!
