Doula!

Hey all-

I am thinking about having a doula to help with the birth...has anybody else used a doula, particularly in the Pittsburgh area?

 If so, would you recommend someone?

 Thanks!

  • I would say Amy Farr https://www.blessedarrivals.com/

    Her husband worked with my husband and she is a wonderful person who is very dedicated. I think she posts on here sometimes as well!

  • Also check out www.pittsburghdoulanetwork.com.    They screen all doulas thoroughly and match you to the perfect fit.   They even have 24-hour/day doulas (thank god!) that you can hire for up to 8 weeks after birth.   We are doing a 24h/day for at least 2 weeks.  Will be so much help!
  • I recently gave birth in Novemer and used Blessed Arrivals - Amy Farr and her sister Brenda.  Brenda was at my birth and was AWESOME - I also met Amy and woyuld highly recommend her as well. 

     Having a doula at the birth was the best decision I ever made.

  • Hello. Since this is my second pregnancy,I have hired Amy from BlessedArrivals as well.  I will be meeting her and her sister next week. Amy is a very cool person and we have so much in common. Plus I love the fact that she don't care if my 2 1/2 is in the background screaming or talking or if I have to tend to her for a moment.
