How can my Doula services help you?
Pregnancy is full of choices: what to eat, where to deliver, etc. Wherever and however women give birth, moms who have a labor doula are more satisfied overall with their birth experience and have an easier time nursing their babies.
Women who labor with a professional support person have fewer C-sections and lower rates of post-partum depression. With rising C-section rates, a 1 in 5 chance of postpartum depression, and short maternity leaves, can you afford not to hire a doula?
We'll meet during your pregnancy to get to know each other. I'll find out what you want and don't want for your birth. I'll make sure you know the basics about birth and breastfeeding, and then I'll help you get through both of them!
I'll labor at home with you and help you get to the hospital at the right time - not too late, not too early. I'll take the pressure off your partner during your time at home. Because we meet during your pregnancy to find out what you want, I offer knowledgeable advice targeted to your needs. My clients have someone knowledgeable about what they want for their birth who is present at the hospital the whole time you are in labor, long before your doctor arrives. I help you negotiate respectfully with the ever-changing nursing staff to avoid the things you don't want, and get the things you need.
See for yourself from randomized controlled trials about the benefits of continuous labor support versus usual care from the non-profit Cochrane Database.
What exactly is a Certified Doula?
A certified doula is a professionally trained labor support person who stays with you continuously through your birth to support you physically, emotionally, and with information to help you make the right choice for you!
I never make choices for you. You're the boss, and I always follow your lead.
