Has anybody used a “doula” during delivery??
ByWhen I started my infertility treatments, I started seeing an acupuncturist mainly for my depression and stress. I found out that acupuncture helps to treat infertility too. My acupuncturist recommended to start looking into hiring a “doula” for my future pregnancy. A doula is a lady that teaches you how to handle pain with massages and breathing techniques. Has anybody used or heard about this?
I am not pregnant yet, but because I have scoliosis(back curvature) my doctor thinks I won’t be able to have an epidural, that is why the acupuncturist recommended the doula

I had one with my last child and she was a God send. She was with me the whole way, keeping me focused, and it seriously helped me control the pain with breathing techniques and such. I would highly recommend getting one. They will be the greatest friend you could ever have when the time comes.

Imyself has never seen or heard of a doula but scoliosis doesn’t mean you can’t get an epidurol because I have scoliosis and i got one so that is not why your doctor wants you to get a doula. i am pregnent now on my second kid. but if you want to talk more about it my e-mail address is miss_cali_2007@yahoo.com
