I was FTM, but didn't think about hiring doula until my 3rd trimester. My midwifes strongly recommended to hire one as I wanted unmedicated birth, and my husband who was pretty skeptical at the begging also gave me green light for that type of service. Patty was recommended to me by our common friend, and having her was the best what I could do to have the birth experience that I wanted. My husband would have been miserable without her in our delivery room. He says now that every guy should hire doula for his expecting wife. She gave us tons of information and recommendations. She guided us on what to do, when and showed us how. She gave me personally huge emotional support as I was refusing all medical interventions, and she was very supportive of my decisions. I'm not sure if things would go as great and smooth if she wouldn't be with us. My baby was born on 42+4 which is very rare in hospital environment. She respected my choice and was very happy to help me along the way. I feel blessed that I had her with us, and I wish all first time mothers to be able to hire doula as this is a game changer.
