What is a Doula?
- A doula is a "mother for the mother" Doulas offer support, counsel,and assistence to mothers before during and after birth.
- A doula is trained in many tecniques to ease the pain of childbirth and support the partner and family as they serve the mother.
- A doula can be an advocate for you and your wishes during labor and birth
- A doula is a moral support in the case of stillbirth, illness in mother or baby, adoption, or a surrogate birth.
- After birth a doula can help with "baby blues" and will take the baby in your own home so you can get some much needed sleep.
- A doula can be a moral support during a cesarean section.
As a doula I do not give medical advice, check on your health or babies, give exams,check heart tones, or deliver babies. I am there for your emotional and physical needs during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.
Regardles of what kind of birth you wish to have a doula is a great option to make your birth a beautiful and happy experence.
