Just back from being doula to a good friend who went to another midwife for her birth. It was great to just be able to hang out and provide labor support, for once, and let some one else have the headaches of paperwork and decision-making. It was a longish labor (16 hours) and VBAC as well - but she did it without drugs and had a normal birth, and a very cute baby boy. I don't have weight or name on the baby - my friends had picked out a girl name but not a boy name. When I left the hospital the baby was firmly attached to mom and nursing away.
