We pre-registered at the hospital this evening and asked a few more "newbie parent" questions. I signed up for a volunteer, on-call doula, and the registrar asked which family nurse-lactation consultant (LC) I would want to come visit me at home around day 3 or 5. Whaaaaat? I am so impressed they do this! I don't think the hospital closer to home offers this personal service! You can call the other hospital's LCs, but they don't plan to visit each mom automatically!
I've heard a paid doula is *so* worth the investment, but we're not going for it. I'm crossing fingers tightly that the volunteer doula service will be able to come through and that there will be one available for me!
