Yes, doula's don't deliver babies, they help support the mother. Check out the Doula Network of Long Island.

Doula's are great. My sister had one with the her last delivery. Her Doula happened to be her friend so price wasn't really an issue. But I heard they can cost a pretty penny and generally not covered under insurance.

I'm using a doula with my OB- I'm delivering at NSUH and I'm taking Bradley method classes.
We'll see if I make it without an epidural...
Doula's advocate for a natural delivery but I told mine that I'm keeping an open mind!

Not to highjack the thread, but I'm planning on natural childbirth, as well! I'm excited, but I haven't come across very many other preggos who are into it. Good luck!

Yes, I recommend someone- FM me if you would like her name. I heard good things about her but I haven't met her face to face yet for our initial consultation- that will be on 10/3.
