Default Doula for 3rd Child??

Hi there,

I am due with my third baby around the 18th of January and am trying to decide whether or not to have a doula... I used a doula with my second child and found the experience very comforting and supportive, I just wanted to know if, having had the experience of natural child birth, my first child was born via C-Section.... you feel more empowered and capable of birthing on your own or whether having a Doula there is worthwhile!!?

Hope I made sense..... let me know your thoughts!

I had a c-section for my first and a natural birth with a Doula for my second. I'm definately using my Doula again this time, she was fantastic and really helped me through
