We are 11 weeks pregnant and have been looking around for doulas in the Southern Maryland area. Has anyone used one or have any recommendations? Thanks for your help!

What's a doulas?

A hippie mid wife. :smile:

I don't know of any doulas but there is a Birth Assistant who lives in Charlotte Hall (she will be coming to my house for our home birth in the next month or so). She charges $700 but mostly because she asists our midwife with the birth.

You may want to call the lactation consultant at St Mary's, she may know of some doulas in the area. Good Luck! Maryland isn't the "friendliest" state for natural childbirth.

I just searched the other day, using a doula database..I couldn't find one closer than Towson or baltimore! There is a DC area birthing center...but they only travel so far...
