[quote=Anonymous]10:17 - I had a doula for my medicated VBAC, and she was helpful every. Step of the way. I wanted to get as far as I could without the epi. I had back labor, and she helped me find techniques for dealing with the incredibly intense and painful contractions. When I (finally) got the epi at 8 cm and labor stalled out, she helped me find ways to get things started again (changing positions, etc). When I turned the epi off and started pitocin, she helped me find ways to cope with the pain again.and she kept my confidence up when I was pushing, it doesn't seem like much, but having a calm presence in the room with some coping techniques to share made an immense difference. Especially after a difficult first labor.[/quote]
