Hi,


Just wondering if anyone in the area has hired a Birth Doula as their birthing partner and if they can recommend anyone, share their experiences?


I have looked on http://doula.org.uk and there are lots of Doulas registered but recommendations are always helpful.


Many thanks

Hi

I can recommend my doula, Ali (Alison) Edwards. You can have a look at her profile through doula org. She has been fantastic and I really couldn't do without her. She lives in Colchester (so just over an hour away) but she travels fast (we called her at 1am and she was there just after 2am). As soon as she entered the room I relaxed and thought it is all going to be ok. I don't know if you are at kings but she has experience working with kings. I can go on and on;)

Very happy to pm or have a chat if you are interested.

Good luck

No, my mum was with me and my husband. I was originally looking for a doula because my husband wasn't sure if he wanted to be in the room and my mum splits here time between England and Ireland and do wasn't sure if she'd be here, but all was well :-)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
