Shay Mitchell Gets a Doula as She Prepares to Give Birth: "When Can I Have My First Drink?"

I don't know about you, but I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Shay Mitchell's pregnancy diaries on YouTube [1]. The actress is this close to having her first baby [2], and on episode four of her series Almost Ready, Shay takes us through what her life is like at the 35-week mark. Like most first-time moms [3], she has a lot of questions and anxieties about what to expect from labour [4].

Not only did Shay take a trip back home to Vancouver to pick her mom's brain (she was definitely not expecting to learn about the knitting-like needle [5] her mom experienced when her water didn't break on its own), but she also turned to a doula [6]. Besides figuring out what to do after finding out her baby is breech [7], she also asked the important questions, like, "When can I have my first drink?"
