We were slightly apprehensive at first of actually finding a doula as it is an incredibly personal thing for a family to go through but we did not regret it. As we had a young boy, the plan was that when the time came, I would take our son to his grandparents house whilst my wife went with Jo to the hospital so there was always going to be someone there with her at all times. Luckily for me I managed to make it to the hospital at exactly the second of birth with Jo present till the end providing much needed support. She is a lovely caring person and cannot recommend her enough.
