I kind of fancy the idea of a doula for this (long awaited) baby due in Jan. For two reasons: firstly I had such a hideous time with no1 and the midwives were so rubbish that I think it would be good to have another experienced person there. Secondly I'm not sure we'll definitely have anyone to look after DS so DP may not be able to be there (at least for not all of it anyway).
I like the idea of a doula but worried that it will seem odd to have a woman present who I will only really have met a couple of times before.

To anyone that has used a Doula...isn't it weird to have someone at your birth that you don't really know?
