If you can afford it, I recommend hiring a properly vetted doula. She'll be there for mom when you need to take a break. Nurses have shift changes, but a doula is a constant, knowledgeable advocate. Some even take pictures so you can just be in the moment. I did not regret that decision.

Oh for f-cks sake, I didn't even think of that! No point in paying for a doula that can't be in the room. Great point.
