Labor and Birth Doula Support:
​
Parenthood is an amazing world full of excitement and challenges. Every detail matters, starting with the pregnancy. Anyone who is embarking on this wonderful journey needs to feel supported. It would be great if you consider having a doula with you as your body and mind transforms in these nine months leading up to the birth. I’m someone who you can share your feelings with and help you achieve a positive birth experience.
As a doula I will be there to provide exclusive attention during labor, delivery and childbirth and add expertise and knowledge to your experience. I will be extra support to stand by you throughout it all. Whether you are doing this alone or with a partner. Doulas are meant to be comforting advocates and help you feel more comfortable with the medical team. I will be prepared to step back if you need some time alone as well.
The most important step of choosing your doula, in addition to their qualifications, is to have a genuinely deep connection with them. During labor and birth, your doula is going to be a familiar face for you and be there to clarify, encourage and reassure you emotionally and physically to prepare for the big moment. It’s ideal if you’re able to choose the one that has the same beliefs as you and that brings out your inner confidence.
