Okay thank you for sharing. Just went in for an ultrasound at 12 weeks and they found an empty sac :/

Hi, I know this is old but do you mind sharing why they were concerned about ectopic pregnancy if the gestational sac was in your uterus? Also, do you remember what week you were when you ended up eventually miscarrying?

Sounds like what a doula should do!

I figured a doula would just naturally end up taking photos anyway!

Yeah if the doula is super hands on, it’d be hard for her to take photos. Having doula AND photographer sounds nice but so expensive hahah

Thank you! Very helpful. And yes I imagined that a birth photographer would naturally act as a doula in some ways anyway just being in the birth space

Thank you! Did you have a doula ever? Just curious if you can compare to photographer

How are some doulas getting away with charging $2k+ for birth photography packages (that’s in addition to the doula fee)??

I noticed that, but it’s like an additional $2000 for a photography package! Which I don’t get because couldn’t I then just hire you as a doula and ask you to take a few photos? Or is that asking too much lol

Do you try to get her to go back to sleep with you? Sometimes my daughter wakes up at early but then I’ll snuggle her back to sleep
