Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend a doula in my area. I live in Colleyville and will have the baby at downtown Harris in FW. I'm having my 1st baby and plan to have an epidural at delivery if possible. I'm considering using a doula for support with my pregnancy/delivery and to keep my husband and I calm. : ) Thanks in advance!!
Hey there! A couple of different options. We used Gina Phillips. She lives in Keller, but I know that she goes all over the metroplex. She is an absolute angel! I can't wait until our next pregnancy as we have every intention of using her again. She has a website http://connectnaturally.com/
You can also go to dona.org which is where we originally found her. Having a doula is a wonderful, wonderful thing! Everytime I find out that someone is pregnant, I recommend one. We had a waterbirth and my husband at first thought that having a doula was silly. Yeah, he changed his mind and said she was worth 3 times the amount that we paid! LOL
Best of luck with everything and congrats on the baby!

My next door neighbor is a doula. I have never used her (met her after the birth of my children), but my other neighbor has and has great things to say about her. I don't have her contact information handy, but you can PM if you're interested and I'll find her website address and e-mail address.
