Please see as below - they are currently TTC but have some issues they'd
need to work through with a Doula from their last experience.

Subject: Doula Information
Hi Kelly,
Sorry it has taken me a little while to get back to you. We've
just moved house and things have been quite hectic trying to do it over the
Christmas/New Year period. Hubby and I are looking for a Doula located in
Townsville. We are currently in the process of TTC baby number 2 but as my
first pregnancy was very traumatic and not pleasant we would like to have a
Doula on board ASAP after conceiving. With my first pregnancy I had very
severe morning sickness. I threw up all day every day from Week 6 through
until after I gave birth. After the 3rd month I could rarely leave the house
and after 5 months I was more or less house bound as I couldn't stand for
more than 30 seconds to a minute without fainting. I had no milk supply
after giving birth and was unable to breast feed. As the public hospital I
gave birth in was very pro breast feeding I was made to feel like a useless
failure and one nurse even went as far as to say that she would not
discharge my daughter and was going to report me for neglect as I wanted to
try formula feeding after 3 days of my daughter not breast feeding. It was
supposed to be one of the best times of my life but ended up being the worst
and I am dreading the thought of giving birth in the same hospital again.
Even the community nurses who visited condemed me for bottle feeding but
didn't bother to find out why I wasn't breast feeding they just assumed that
everyone could. All of this lead to my PND which I am still battling though
it's a mild case. We are hoping that by having a private midwife or Doula on
board from early on in my next pregnancy that we may be able to alievate
some of the problems we had last time as my dr was less than helpful and I
saw a different midwife each hospital appointment who all had different
views and opinions. Any info you can pass on to us about Doulas/services
available in Townsville would be much appreciated.

We currently live in Douglas in Townsville but it's a very small city so any
Doula located in Townsville would be great.
Thanks for your help.
Best Wishes
