I'm so glad I found District Doulas so early in my pregnancy. A doula was one of the first things I booked in pregnancy and I'm glad I chose them. I told them my birth preferences (that I had vaguely worked out early on) and they gave me several suggestions that helped me rework my healthcare plan into something that suited me MUCH more. I received much better care overall, thanks to District Doulas. I also expanded my care team with Chiropractic care along with many other suggestions that really alleviated some of the pregnancy aches, pains, changes, etc! They are a wealth of resources - classes, info sheets, an entire book (that REALLY came in handy during labor) and of course the actual birth! The doulas were helpful virtually as I began labor and suggested a few key things that helped progress labor (and wow it really got things moving fast!). Michele was instrumental in our hospital birth; she kept the staff focused on what I wanted and she provided many relief tactics for contractions. Also, I think the 3 person team is a great system for birth, you get to know all of them (take the classes) and you can easily rest knowing that one of them will show up. Many other doula groups set you up with one doula that may or may not be available on birth (because life happens and births don't always happen on schedule :).
