Support from a doula: what is a doula?Do you feel that you can use (read: undoubtedly will need) some extra support during the birth? Then you might choose your mother or sister. Calling in a personal birth coach, a so-called doula, is also a good idea. Another difficult word, I hear you say thoughtfully. We come to the rescue with answers to the following questions: what is a doula, what does a doula do and why should you choose a doula? Oh yes, and of course what the cost of a doula is (not unimportant).
