	I didn't hire a doula for my daughter's birth because I was going to a physician/midwife collaborative practice. I felt that the "high touch" care I received from the midwives would be a good substitute. Unfortunately, it really didn't turn out that way and I wished I'd had someone helping me and advocating for me throughout the process. My husband was amazing, but it's not the same. I think the work you do is fantastic! Flag

	I think a Doula is an amazing resource for women throughout pregnancy, birth, and post-partum! Hoo-Ray for Doulas! Jessica Foley, MA, LMHC www.jessicafoley.com Flag

	I used a doula for both of my deliveries, the first was with an OB/GYN and the second with a midwife. She was awesome both times and really took the anxiety off of my husband. It didn't hurt that she is also a massage therapist so she knew pressure points to apply during labor and healthy snacks and breathing tips. It is totally worth whatever the cost. Flag

	Yay for doulas! I didn't hire one, but I did have my mother and two sisters there with me for both my births. Had I not had them I would have hired one for sure, even though my midwife was very attentive during the whole labor. I did have a postpartum doula after my second son's birth and she was wonderful to have! Flag
