Why would I want a stranger at my birth? |

Trust me; by the time you give birth, I will not be a stranger! From the time you first contact me, I will begin to build a relationship with both you and your partner. As a matter of fact, for most typical hospital births, it is likely I will be the only person you know caring for you. Most OBGYN's and nurse midwives work in a group and whoever happens to be on call during your birth is who you get. You will also be randomly assigned a nurse you have never met and will likely go through one or more nurse shift changes. As your doula, I will be a constant reassuring presence for you and your partner, regardless of who the other support staff may be.
