My husband and I are checking into using a doula, a birth "consultant" for assistance with our birth. I'm curious about using a doula because 1) I'm in an HMO and can't pick a specific health provider to be with me at the birth 2) I could use a little extra advocacy in the hospital and 3) lots of women friends have said how wonderful doulas can be. We have met with two doulas. Both seem just fine. I wonder how to pick one? Both are friendly. They are each the back-up for the other. One has years more experience, but the other seems a bit more outgoing and ebullient. One knows massage techniques. The other has kids.
Any suggestions on how to choose from here?
