The next day you meet with the postpartum doula that your friend recommended.

She is kind, respectful, and takes careful notes so she can remember about your preferences and needs. You feel like she is an instant friend and you are excited that she'll be there to help with things when the baby finally comes.

It's a no-brainer and you hire her right then and there. You feel at ease.

Another week goes by and you're SO eager for the birth. Luckily, nobody stays pregnant forever!
