Maternity nurse/doula?

Hi

Does anyone know where I can get information on a maternity nurse or possibly a doula? Not sure if there is such a thing as what I'm looking for but here goes:

Just for a wk or so I'd love someone who is experienced with newborns to come to my house and give me some pointers on looking after a newborn. My family and friends are 450 miles away and DH's family work full time and live an hour away.

I trust my motherly instinct but I would love someone to come in and show me stuff/tips etc that I dont know about.

Thanks

Lucy

Lucy - good luck with the post natal doula.I dont think there are many in your area - last year there was only one woman working in Glasgow - a friend checked it out. I live near EK BTW

Hi Lucy,

Have you tried the nanny agencies in the yellow pages, i do this type of work but in the SW of England and get all my work thru an agency.

Lucy - I train postnatal doulas all over the UK and there is one in Glasgow which might be of interest to you.
Feel free to CAT (contact another talker) me.
