Should I Get a Doula for My First Pregnancy?

My partner is very supportive, he has a 10yr old, so he's been through it before. My mom plans on being there (if she can) and she's had 6 kids all natural births. Would a doula be more than I need, or do you think one would still be worth the cost? If so does anyone have recomendations, or should I ask my doctor? And what should I expect to pay?
