<p>Anyone know where I might find a doula in the Columbia area?  I am due the end of March and I can not go through birth with only DH as my support person again.  Last time I had to call my mother in law in to help support DH so I could focus on giving birth.  Which I don't mind doing again, but since she and my father in law will be watching both small ones this time, it is probably easier to just have someone there for me from the start.  DH just has trouble seeing me in pain, which is a great thing except when I am in labor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So any suggestions would be great.   It will be a second VBAC at Howard County General Hospital, so not a home birth. Thanks a lot for any suggestions.</p>

<p>Doula Match is a great site to find local doulas. I work with a number of doulas in the area and they are all fantastic.  Emily Pelton was my doula and I love to recommend her to others.  Feel free to PM me if you would like more names and numbers and specifics.</p>
