anyone know a great Doula?

[AisieSusie]

I am really keen to find a doula that people have had great experiences with. I live in west london and plan to give birth at st marys paddington in their birth centre.

Due date is the 3rd of March, and am worried I have left it a bit late to find one?

Reading reviews of doulas makes me feel this is such a good option, and think its totally right for me, as my husband is not going to be much support in the birth and I am worried I will panic unless there is someone in the room who knows what they are doing!

any recommendations would be amazing - thanks

I used one in Reading who was brilliant - not sure she'd go that far but I can ask! I know there are lots in the London area.

have you looked on www.doula.org.uk ?

I only konw some in SW london - if you want recommendations, just shout
