Why I decided I need a doula (this time)…and so do you.
Let me start by saying at first, I didn’t even know what a doula was. I had heard the word, and knew it had something to do with babies, but that was as far as my knowledge went. Once I found out I was pregnant again, (see the announcement here) I knew I needed my […]
