Thinking of getting a doula for the first little bit once I come home from the hospital with my twins. Anybody use one? Looking for recommendations of companies, how many weeks you used one, how many hours each day or night.

Yes! I have twins and used a great doula a few nights a week the first few months. She came maybe 2-3 nights/week. She would usually come around 10 or 11 pm and stay until 6 am. It really helped me with getting grounded. I was so nervous, overwhelmed and definitely exhausted and she really made me feel supported. And I got some sleep, which was most important in keeping me sane. They will work with you any way you need. The woman who helped me was Heather and her group is the Pittsburgh Doula Network. http://pittsburghdoulanetwork.com/. Good luck!
