[quote=Anonymous]I had two unmedicated births at Sibley with a doula and I recommend asking exactly what the doula provides. The first doula I used didn't do much, and I think I didn't ask the right questions. I think her strength was she kept me home very long, so by the time i got to the hospital i didn't have much left to do. I would ask exactly what she will bring to the birth, if anything, and to talk you through what she does during a birth- or ask her to share a recent experience and her role. I also didn't have much interaction with the doula before the birth, so it did feel a little like a stranger was watching me during a very intense experience. I had a great experience with the second doula I had, but my husband is convinced she also didn't do much. But it all turned out well and i did appreciate her support. I found the nursing staff to be supportive too, but they were in and out of the room (understandably). [/quote]
