A Birth Doula recognizes that birth is a key experience for a mother and her family and understands there are significant physiological and emotional needs of a woman preparing for and in labor. Doulas stay with mothers throughout labor and facilitate communication between the laboring woman, her partner and her physician.  Doulas also provide: Assistance in creating and accomplishing birth plans Emotional support Physical comfort Objective viewpoint Encouragement Love Someone to listen Resources to help mothers achieve their pregnancy and family goals Local connections Attending pregnancy related appointments Tools to create a healthy pregnancy and family Nutrition Guidance |  Doulas are available at anytime during pregnancy. Their goal is to create an environment of love and encouragement as they walk with mothers through their prenatal period, labor and delivery as well as the first six weeks postpartum recovery.  Doulas can be involved in attending childbirth classes with clients, sitting in on doctor's appointment, assisting in the WIC process and help create healthy choices for the birth mother and her family. On average, Doulas and clients meet weekly or biweekly for about an hour (or four hours a month) and are available for texts and phone calls throughout the pregnancy. The primary role of our doulas is to walk the journey of childbirth with those that have little to no support, and give them consistent care and love through this intimate time that we call childbirth. |
