What is a Birth Doula?
A Birth Doula is a person who is there to offer support to a family throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, as they bring a new baby into the world. Doulas help educate, provide constant encouragement, and help to instill confidence in both the pregnant woman and her partner. We provide practical knowledge on things such as comfort measures during labor, and different ideas for positioning. Throughout pregnancy, we help you come up with questions for your healthcare provider so that you can ensure that your goals for your birth are aligned. As a Doula, I will never make decisions for you or speak for you or your partner. My goal is to educate you and provide you with great information regarding any decisions you have to make during pregnancy and birth, so that you can make informed decisions together as a couple. At the end of the day, my goal is to empower you and your partner so that you feel in control throughout your whole pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey!
Doulas do not provide clinical care or examinations and never replace the role of a midwife, doctor or nurse. We aim to work together with your care team so that you can have the best delivery experience possible! The great thing about adding a Doula to your birth team, is that our focus is solely you and your partner; we don’t have other clients to attend to at the same time, so we can be with you every step of the way during birth!
Current research is beginning to show the amazing benefits of adding a Birth Doula to your team! Risk of interventions such as episiotomy and assisted delivery are reduced, along with a decrease in the number of emergency cesareans. It has also been shown that Doulas help to improve satisfaction in regards to the parent’s birth experience, as well as their relationship with their partner. Having a Doula truly makes a difference and I would absolutely love to help you have the most positive pregnancy, birth & postpartum experience possible!
