[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never got the appeal of doulas. Seemed extraneous in every way. What do doctors think of doulas? My uncle, a Retire anesthesiologist, went to visit my cousin who was having a tough labor in the hospital. He asked later that there was a stranger balling in the room. That was the doula. He had never heard of them since he’d worked in a hospital serving working class people in the Bronx and was completely baffled by the trend. I’m Indian— it’s common in our culture to have moms and aunts helping. In my case, my mom came to help with the baby after the birth. When my second was a c section, she cane earlier because I had complications through my pregnancy and needed help. Obviously in these covid times, you may not be able to do that. I’d go for a night nurse before a doula if needed.[/quote] +1 doula = waste of money. Night nurse = priceless[/quote]
