Frequently Asked Questions

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expecting mothers before, during, and after childbirth. A doula's role is to help the mother have a safe, memorable, and positive birth experience by offering guidance, comfort, and advocacy. Unlike a midwife or a doctor, a doula does not perform medical procedures or make decisions on behalf of the mother. Instead, a doula works alongside the medical team to ensure the mother's needs are met and her wishes are respected. A doula's services can be invaluable to parents who want extra support during this transformative time in their lives.

As a doula, I offer a range of services to support you during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Some of the services I provide include: - Prenatal support: I can help you prepare for childbirth by providing information on childbirth education, creating a birth plan, and offering emotional support and guidance throughout your pregnancy. - Labor and delivery support: I will be there to support you during the entirety of your labor and delivery. This includes providing physical comfort measures, helping you with relaxation techniques, and advocating for your needs and preferences. - Postpartum support: Once your baby has arrived, I can offer support with breastfeeding, newborn care, and emotional support as you adjust to life as a new parent. - Emotional support: I understand that pregnancy and childbirth can be overwhelming and emotional. I am here to provide a listening ear, offer encouragement, and provide support throughout your entire journey. Overall, my goal as a doula is to provide continuous support for you and your partner throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period.

Yes, I can! As a doula, I am trained to provide emotional, physical and informational support to expecting mothers before, during and after childbirth. One of the many ways I can assist is by helping you create a personalized birth plan that reflects your unique needs and preferences. I will work with you to understand your goals and wishes for your birth experience, and guide you through the process of making informed choices that align with those goals.

As a doula, I believe that partners play a crucial role during labor and delivery. My main goal is to support and empower both the birthing person and their partner throughout the entire process. I do this by providing emotional support, education, and physical comfort measures. During labor, I can help partners by guiding them through different techniques such as massage, breathing exercises, and positioning. I also make sure to provide opportunities for partners to take breaks and rest when needed. I provide emotional support, encouragement, and guidance to help partners better understand what is happening during labor. Ultimately, my role is to create a supportive and positive environment for both the birthing person and their partner so that they can have the best possible birth experience.
