[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like you mesh well with your doula group, and because of that I would cancel the contract. Birth is such a personal thing and you don't want an extra person in the room who will cause anxiety. Personally I ate up all the stuff from the doula community about how OBs are terrible and force you into unnecessary medical interventions. It made me very anxious when I was at the hospital. I had a doula who was helpful while I was dealing with a lot of pain, but I also feel like there are other things that would have been better if I had not come in with this distrust of the doctors. I didn't like the OB I got (hadn't met her before) and maybe it was just her personality, but I also think her sensing the distrust rubbed her the wrong way. And I think the hospital changed my nurse when they saw I had a doula from one that seemed amazing to one that was meh. I dunno. [/quote]
