we had a doula when my daughter was born. although we did use an OB for the actual birth the money spent on the doula was worth it.
It was great not having to worry about coaching my wife. But i did coach her through the final push. My wife had been pushing for about 20 minutes and I saw the doctor getting worried so I started yelling "c'mon Flower one last push you can do it!" and she popped out!
Holding my daughter for the first time was the most emotional experience I ever had.
We got to keep her with us in our room for three daysbecause they wanted to mintor her for an infection.
I wouldn't trade those three days for anything. Just me, my wife, and my daughter and all the food we wanted.
