I am only 10 weeks pregnant but am thinking about doulas already. I have found one through Doula UK who I am planning to meet and another who lives nearer to me. I found her through google.
Should doulas be accredited? I can't find the second doula on Doula UK. Her website isn't great but she may just be setting up because I haven't seen her before.
I want someone who's trained really or I might as well just back down and let my mum be at the birth (I foresee another thread on this as my edd nears!).
So I am looking for advice on how to find a doula. Any tips?
DD's birth was a bit of a circus and I felt like everyone in the hospital was in the room at one point. I am a bit concerned that having another woman there will make this birth feel the same. How comfortable can I get with her after a few hours of chatting?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
