can anyone recommend a doula in north london, for the Whittington?

Not for a home birth - think I'll have the baby at the Whittington, but my last labour (at another hospital) was fast, chaotic and frightening, and left me with a 3rd degree tear. Really want someone to be calm, awake (dh CANNOT function if things happen in the middle of the night) and just generally around.

hi there,

which number baby are you expecting?

would you prefer trainee or recognised?

oh yes, what is your home address area? (not home address obviously)

hello! It's baby number 2, i think I'd prefer a recognised doula. And I'm in archway/tufnell park area - really down the road from the whittington hosp.

Hi Oranges. When's your EDD? (estimated due date)

mid March, but ds arrived three weeks early!

I'm local to you. me! And can also recommend some other lovely local doulas if you want.

MarsLady got me successfully breastfeeding this time, and am still going 14months later!

Well done darling! That's wonderful to hear. I feel you may owe me photos!

ooohhh! That would be fab! I'll contact you through your site. x

Lovely. Look forward to talking to you.
