Doulas new to labor support have a common question; "How will I Know when it's time to go?"
Doula clients often have a version of the same question; "How will we know when to go?"

Factors that doulas may consider include: what are the frequency and duration of contractions, how the client copes with the contractions, would the client benefit from the reassurance that moving to their birth location can offer.
