Question PP Doulas: Do you work more with 1st time parents, or second, third, etc?

Do you find that you work more with 1st time moms or moms that have had second or more?

I didn't vote b/c it is seriously a mix. I'd say 50/50.

I am interested in seeing the results. I haven't voted because I'm just getting started as a pp doula. I have only worked with two moms (both are 1st-time moms).

I would have to say both so far. Although my last 2 clients have been 1st time mothers. I do enjoy working with both though.
