DH and I are currently reading "Husband Coached Childbirth" by Bradley. For anyone who is interested in having a drug-free birth I highly recommend the book. I have enjoyed it thus far!
I work with my husband. I can assure the world that if he were to 'coach me' he would end up dead or impaled with some sharp object.
I just KNOW that that approach would end badly. So instead, we've opted for a Doula. We were referred to her by a colleague, who is a no-nonsense type as is Michelle. LOVE THAT. I like the idea of someone being supportive but still a bit of a drill sergeant. DH can be there and be involved and supportive but we have a conductor who will make sure we play our parts cooperatively.?

This literally made me laugh out loud. DH and I work together too. There is no way I could rely on him as my childbirth coach and I have elected to hire a doula as well.
