I'm due in Nov (first baby) and friends have recommended hiring a maternity nurse for a few days after the baby's born to help us out. I'm loathe to spoil what I HOPE will be a precious and bonding time for me and DH and baby while he's off work for the first two weeks, but maybe after that to help get into a routine? It's so hard to know what you will need but I hear you have to book in advance or pay steep "emergency rates"... Anyone got an opinion?? Am a bit confused about the difference between a post-natal doula, a night nanny and a mat nurse.........
