Thanks for the replies

I have read Bumblebees enterance (Kim is a friend)

I do have another question, I'm a high-risk of having another prem. Does that change anything? I mean if things were to go that way again (I hope not, but also have to think about these things) to put it bluntly, it's not the easiest thing to watch. I'm not sure if I like the idea of bringing someone else into that situation of witnessing a premmie birth.

I dont know, I cant really get what I think out there....

Kelly, do you have a contact number for them please?

Thanks heaps.

A doula would support you no matter what but you'd have to talk to her and determine oncall times etc and ensure shes ok to be available if labour is early. Most would be.

If you are worried about the doula and her feelings on viewing the birth, you would be surprised at what most seasoned doulas have seen. If anything Id imagine she'd feel extremely grateful for being there for you.
