Tomorrow my wife and I will be meeting a potential doula and midwife. I know I should have a list of questions, and have had questions pop in my head all the time... but now that I'm trying to sit down and write them I can't think of anything. Can you guys help me? I need them for the doula AND the midwife! Please and thanks in advance!
Mommy DeAnna and baby, mommy Jenny, Quenton, Bella, and Rio.... We may not be perfect, but we're perfect for eachother!
First of all, how far along are you? You should ask what their philosophy for birth is to see if it goes along with what you want. Such as do you want a completely natural experience, do you want to birth at home, etc. What kind of support will they offer you, prenatal and post? How many visits do you have with them. Things like that. I hope that helps some!
One of the most important things is that you like your doula. I mean you are going to be experiencung your mosrt vulnerable moments even if you're not the one giving birth, its very hard to watch someone you love be in pain. Make sure you click with your doula, experience means nothing if you don't love her to pieces.
I need advice about which path to choose
