A Doula…

Mothers the mother.

Doulas offer non-medical support and encouragement throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum period.

A Midwife oversees and is responsible for the medical care of the mother and unborn baby during pregnancy and childbirth.

A Doula is not a replacement or substitute for a medical professional.

A Doula provides comfort measures, relaxation techniques and emotional support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum.

A Doula helps the mother and her family prepare for childbirth and postpartum.

Mothers who have a doula are proven to have shorter labors, less interventions, and an overall better birth experience.

Doulas attend home births, independent free standing birth centers and hospitals.

Doulas support all births.

Whether you are planning a c-section or medicated birth a doula is a valuable resource.

As the saying goes…baby’s come when they are ready. Sometimes that is before the scheduled c-section or before the epidural has time to work.

Having a Doula is just another tool in your tool belt.

Expect the unexpected. When it’s time to pivot a Doula can offer support and guidance.
