Due to a pretty awful first birth we are considering a doula for our second. I'm currently researching those in the area and reaching out to a few but one question I have (and I will ask them but just keen to know what the "norm" is)...
If I book one months in advance, then for whatever reason the baby ends up needing to be delivered by a planned section with some notice, do you still have to pay the full price etc? Honestly in that situation I wouldn't really want a doula for the section itself - it's more if I have a vaginal birth as it was a mess from start to finish last time.
Can you just say you no longer require their services and pay the deposit or would you need to pay up the full amount? I guess they have blocked the time out either way...
