Hey everyone. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant (just found out yesterday that it's a <span><b>BOY</b></span>!) and am beginning to think about hiring a birth doula.<br><br>
I already have an OB, who is great, but busy - and I feel an increasing need for a more intimate relationship with a birthing expert who can help me with the emotional side of pregnancy and birth, as well as assist me in designing a birth plan, and other practical considerations that I'm clueless about! <a href="http://www.dona.org" target="_blank">www.dona.org</a> has a bunch of Doula's listed for my area, but it's a big group to narrow down! If anyone has any recommendations in the Pittsburgh area (I live in the city, but am not averse to traveling a little outside of the city for the right person), I would LOVE to hear them! Feel free to PM me if you prefer.<br><br>
Thanks in advance! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/blowkiss.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Blowkiss">
