    Kathy O'Brien was mine and she is wonderful! She respects your wishes and gently encourages you along the way.

    We are using Heidi thaden Pierce. Se is amazing. I have several friends who loved her and my dr said she is the best. You can find her website by searching her name.

    I'm so glad you asked this question!  I was just logging in to ask the very same question.  I look forward to seeing recommendations.  I'm interested in learning more about hypnobabies or finding a doula that supports hypnobabies.

     

    Thanks everyone!

    I used Becky Hines from North Dallas Doula Associates and absolutely LOVED her!  I cannot give a more glowing review-seriously she was amazing!!!!

    She used to be a labor and delivery nurse so she really gets the "medical" side of things, but is still super supportive and really helpful!  I ended up having to go in for a c-section but she still MORE than earned her fee!  She was really helpful throughout the whole pregnancy, kept in touch with me throughout, helped with resources and information throughout and was especially helpful when I went overdue and was starting to worry.  I was able to call or text her at any time and never felt like I was bothering her-she is just so wonderfully nice.  

    Even for my c-section, she came in, took pictures, was a part of the whole experience, and the best part (IMO) was how quickly she got baby to my breast. After my c-section they gave me some narcotic pain medication that completely knocked me out (family kept having to remind me to breathe!) but she immediately got the baby on my breast and started her nursing within the first hour even though I couldn't even lift my head up!  It was amazing and I credit our bf'ing success hugely to her!  

    Then of course she came for the post partum visit and had all kinds of wonderful info for me there too-I just really cannot say enough about what a great doula she is!  5 stars completely!

    Are doulas more beneficial for women who plan on going med-free (and would need more help with labor and birth), or would they still be useful for someone who will get pain meds?
