I have bee trying to research Doulas to figure out the pros and cons of using one. So far I like the idea of lowering my chances of having a c section. But what else can you expect from a doula? Has anyone had a doula before? How did you like it?

    what is the difference between a doula and a midwife? Just out of curiousity.

    Midwife can deliver your baby and do prenatal care. A doula is like your personal cheerleader and support.

    Im starting to like this idea more and more. This is my first pregnancy so I have alot of questions and I'd really like somone to give me recommendations on how to have an easier labor and at least be knowledgable about my options. I like the idea of having an advocate I may not be in the mood to be too stubborn when I am in labor and just want to have the baby :)
