Birth…Did you know?

Did you know you will be laboring alone 75% of your time in the hospital? The only people who will be constant support are the people you bring with you. The nurses do not have time to assist with positioning, breathing, or other comfort measures.

 Our Birth Doulas will:

  • Be there throughout your entire pregnancy…we are here to answer all your “Is this normal?” questions.

  • Assist you with designing your perfect birth plan whether planning a hospital or homebirth…backup plans are also talked about including a Cesarean plan.

  • Support you and your partner through your entire labor…from assistive devices (birth ball, peanut ball, rebozo) to interventions (epidurals, narcotics, nitrous), we’ll give you the information so you can make an informed decision…no matter how you birth (vaginal or Cesarean).

  • Help with initial feeding (whether breast, chest or bottle) and bonding.

  • Visit you in the early postpartum period…we know becoming a parent (whether your first or fifth) comes with changes, so we want to be sure you’re handling those changes physically, emotionally, and mentally

  • Offer evidence-based information to EMPOWER you to make your birth YOUR way
