When is it too late to get a doula? IRELAND

[L3tsD0Th1S2020]

Whens the cut off point? I've left it late as I'm in third trimester.

Also will doula will allowed in the moment I'm checked in at hospital alongside my partner (whose only allowed from active labour onwards)

I would say, not too late but many areas are not allowing anyone other than one birth partner due to COVID so do check with your hospital. A doula can help with your birth preparation and also help your partner be the best doula he can be if the doula cannot attend the birth. Many doulas have been working remotely, while this is by no means the same thing, some clients have found it beneficial to have them on the end of the phone.

I don’t think it’s ever ‘too late’ but i very much doubt your doula will be allowed further than the car park
