Daniela I’m with you. What is this attitude towards doctors? They go through what, 12 years of school and training before delivering children on their own, and you’re telling us our trust better lay with a doula who has minimal training and not equipped to deal with emergencies in the same way? Now I’m not trying to know a doula, if you can afford one, why not. But in America they aren’t so necessary. I went through natural childbirth, I had my husband in the delivery room, there were 2 nurses and all times and my doctor came in and out over the 14 hours I was in labor then again for the final 2 when it was realy happening. I don’t think having someone there undermining the doctor at every turn Is the answer.
