But, I'm also a bit paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-my-doula-feels-like-a-first-date#post-332901 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 08:15:37 +0000 Arden 332901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your first meeting is at your home? Wow. I never meet clients for the first time at their home, always a public place like a coffee shop or smoothie place.<br /> Because I need to make sure they are actually a pregnant woman and not some crazy who wants to kill me. lol</p> <p>OK... maybe it's just me that's a little... ahem.... careful. cough.paranoid.cough.</p> <p>Good luck! And by the way, she probably feels the same way. I know I do. I think about my outfit (don't want to look too hippie or too stuffy), my hair and makeup (too much might turn them off, too little and they might think I just don't care)... etc. People always fret about making the best first impression. You'll do great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-my-doula-feels-like-a-first-date#post-332068 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:09:59 +0000 birdofafeather 332068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i totally do! i felt the same way meeting our doula and i even had met her before (in a non-doula capacity) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-my-doula-feels-like-a-first-date#post-332052 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:03:47 +0000 Ms. Fairy Wings 332052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I remember feeling this way. It's a really intimate relationship for sure. I never thought I'd be so comfortable breastfeeding, sharing and generally having someone clean up around my house that I didn't know that well. Doulas are amazing people. Good luck1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-my-doula-feels-like-a-first-date#post-332013 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:50:48 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 332013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the first meeting with our doula tonight, and it totally feels like a first date! I'm excited, but also nervous! I cleaned the house and made cookies, but now I'm worrying that she doesn't eat gluten or that our dogs will misbehave while she's here . . . </p> <p>Do you get nervous when you meet people for the first time? </p>
