[quote=Anonymous]The nurses were great but I wouldn’t consider that I relied on them rather than the doula. I relied on my partner to know my preferences and wishes and to advocate for me. I knew I could count on him bc he is familiar with the medical setting (Eg not afraid to speak up, see blood, converse about medical care) and bc we spoke about birth planning so much ahead of time. As I was unmedicated, the pain was too great to speak or act so gratefully, he did that for me. If my husband was a but more clueless in this realm, and/or if expense was no issue at all, I may have hired a doula. I was better off spending that money on a post partum doula as we needed sleep and care in the first month.[/quote]
