LittleBerlin - I am interested to see the responses to your question too because I would have assumed that it was a doula's responsibility to listen to your concerns about an induction and even advocate on your behalf. I guess I don't understand the purpose of a doula very well and am interested to know what exactly their responsibilities are and what falls outside their responsibilities. I would have thought that some amount of antenatal care and postnatal care was part of a doula's role. I don't know if I would see the point of having a doula if they are just going to rock up to the birth. Very interesting . . .
I guess as far as the trust thing goes with your doula, it would be easier to trust her if you felt she had your best interest at heart. Just a thought.
