A doula can still provide a valuable service, including personal childbirth education and labor support. Midwives will take the place of a doctor, therefore their primary concern is your physical well being and the baby's well being.

Having a Doula ensures that you still receive the emotional support necessary during labour. Some midwives prefer not to give that extra emotional support. They'd rather a Doula did it! Talking to your midwife is a good suggestion to see what her take on you having a doula is.
