Planned c-section and a doula

Hi ladies, new here and currently 3 months pregnant with triplets. I am curious if anyone that had a planned c-section also had a doula. If so, what was your experience like? If you didn't have a doula do you think you would have benefited from it? TIA!

    Congrats on your babies!

    Multiples deliveries are very chaotic - especially when you start talking HOM.  With my twins, there were at least 10 people in the OR at all times.  2 anesthesia docs, 3 ob/gyns (my friends), 1 scrub tech, 2 nurses, 2 baby nurses, 1 neonatologist.  I also had an interpreter and 2 students.  And my husband. 

    I doubt they will allow a doula + your spouse.  A doula will not do much of anything for you in that situation.

    There is also a strong chance with any multiples pregnancy that you won't make it to a scheduled c-section and he/she may not even make it.

    I would not have benefitted from one. 

    Good luck and keep us posted.
