Way up!

Thumbs sideways--- To be honest I haven't really thought about it at all! I'd have to research and decide with DH if that is something we want!

way up! But I'm a doula myself, so I may be slightly biased!

(if anyone has any questions I'd be more then glad to answer them)

Thumbs way up for me... I read that it leads to shorter labor and fewer medical interventions (c-sections).

Insurance may not cover it, but I would be willing to cover the $300 the Doulas in my area charge.... they're even willing to bill the insurance company to see if they would even partially cover it.

That's wonderful Cheryl!! Thank you!!

This is the first time I've heard of doulas, but I like the idea after reading the article. I tend to get stressed very easily so anything to help DH keep me calm I'm sure would be a good investment

Of course I am a Birth Doula so it makes perfect sense to me LOL

I am the creater/director for the High Risk Teen Doula program I run in our cummunity plus as a Volunteer ministry from my heart I take on clients before,dureing and after a m/c, fetal demise and stillbirth deliveries and PP.

Way up. I don't know if we will be able to afford a doula though.
