Possibly if:

• It’s your first birth and you want an experienced hand nearby to assist you (and your partner) through the unknown.
• You’re unsure about whether your partner will be able to support you either before, during or after the birth of your child.
• You may have had an unpleasant birth experience and want to make it better this time.
• You will be birthing at home or in a hospital and don’t want to be alone.
• You’re fearful you’ll get caught up in the moment and won’t be able to adhere to your birth plan. You’d feel better with an advocate by your side.
• You’re simply uncertain about the birth process and want somebody by your side.
