So I’m planning to give birth at UCH in London early November. I’ve been reading some horror stories about how busy these central London hospitals can get (and how often births end in C sections) so I’m exploring a doula. However it’s a big investment (£3k +) and I’m wondering if it’s worth it. Anyone had one and swear by it? Anyone else thought it was a waste of time? Interested to hear particularly from those who gave birth in busy NHS hospitals
