Our weekly listener email 

Dear Charlene and Karen I actually found your podcast when I was doing a google search to know the difference between a midwife and a doula so it would be great if you could talk about that in one of your shows. I listened to your episode last week about which gyn to choose but recently I have been considering working with a midwife. When I posted in the Facebook group I belong, I had lots of recommendations but many of them were for doulas and now I am a bit confused. Is a doula able to do  my prenatal care and deliver my baby? Can I hire a doula instead of a midwife? If I have a midwife will I automatically have a doula? And if I choose to have a hospital birth can I still have my midwife or maybe even my doula....as you can see I am totally confused and befuddled and hoping you can help me understand. Thanks so much,  Annamarie. 18 weeks pregnant with my first baby.
