Why did I decide to become a doula?

I had always enjoyed supporting pregnant friends and families with a newborn, and wanted to give back the same support that I had enjoyed from others in my early days of parenthood. I really enjoyed my own pregnancies and births but I found breastfeeding tough, even with my second child when I was convinced my breasts should have sorted out how to work after twelve months of feeding my firstborn. The support I received in the early days was invaluable, and I wanted to be able to offer the same support to other women and their families.
