Tegan - AS your aware we`ve got a Doula lined up for this birth, like you the only person I have as support is DH so having that extra support is fantastic especially considering all Mark wants to do is be there and hold my hand so my Doula will be their advising on best positions, massage, heat packs, music etc, etc. So having a Doula the burden is taken off DH as to what can he do, it must help a lot as DH has told me many times before he doesn`t like seeing his loved one in pain so a Doula will know exactly what to do to help me with the pain.

With the money aspect of things, we`re paying ours off, our Doula only requests all payments to be finalised before the birth of bubs, which is understandable.

Good Luck Tegan, if you need to know anymore about my Doula just email or PM me
