We recommend strongly that all first time mothers, first-time natural or home birthers, and VBAC clients hire a doula. Seriously consider hiring one, and interview two or three before you decide.
Though your midwife cares about your comfort,
monitoring you and your baby’s safety is her top priority. In addition, it’s critical that your midwife is well-rested in order to care for you and your baby with a clear head, so she will choose to sleep whenever possible and will not come to stay until you are
in well-established active labor.
A doula, however, is free to put your comfort at the top of her priority list, and they often arrive before the midwife to provide support and non-clinical guidance for you and your partner. The benefits of hiring a doula are evidence-based and wide-ranging.
