Doula: worth it or not?
The prices I'm getting quoted are like $1000-1200. Seems a steep price to pay for assistance from someone who can't actually give me drugs or anything, but I've never done this before (childbirth, not posting) and the studies make hiring a doula seem like a good idea (fewer interventions, etc.).
Given that this board is filled with snarky, left-brained people like me, I'm hoping for more useful answers than are to be found on the standard pregnancy chat boards.
Thanks in advance.

A sibling who is a midwife came to one of our births, and did this back rub stuff that my wife still claims was better than any drugs she has had during childbirth.
If the doula knows good backrub techniques, cost should not be an issue. I would ask all of them for backrubs in the interview.
