With my third, my husband and I are much better advocates and know more of the ins and outs of childbirth. I would always recommend using a doula for your first or if you have had a prior traumatic birth.
Just saw you are pregnant with your third - if you expect a long induction and your husband needs some flexibility with the kids then yes, but with two easy births behind you it doesn’t seem like a must.
