I think I found her....

A doula that is! This is something I thought about for quite a while but wasn't sure how I would afford it. Medicaid doesn't cover doula's so I was afraid i'd have to come up with the money on my own. Well, I was pleased to discover that there are doula's that don't charge.

About a week ago, I sent an email to a local doula. We wrote back and forth a few times and decided to speak on the phone last night. Well, after our 4 HOUR CONVERSATION (yeah you heard me right lol) it's clear that she's the one. We sat and talked about everything and anything. It was a very nice conversation. I feel so comfortable with her. Her views are the same as mine and I really feel that she'd be able to assist me and DF during the birthing process.

She and I set up a meeting for tomorrow afternoon. We're gonna meet face to face and discuss some of our options like positions for labor, natural pain relief options, and my birth plan. I can't wait!

I'll let you all know how it goes :)
