Doula - Brisbane Northside

Just wondering of anyone can recommend a doula? I need someone close by as my last baby was born wothin 90 mins of first contraction and I'm worried that this one will be even quicker.

Thanks

Congrats Robyn. Liz Leys would be worth calling, her details are on the HMA website (http://www.homebirth.org.au/). Are you looking for someone to attend in hospital or at home?

Thanks everyone. I'm due 5th June next year. I spoke to Liz yesterday and we are meeting next week! She does sound wonderful and very experienced.

Oh and I think hospital Melissa, I was thinking about a homebirth but was turned off when I spoke to a midwife by phone the other day. She was quite rude (in my opinion) and just turned me off the whole process!!! Plus theres the cost....
