Doula Services
The main goalis to prepare you for birth by offering supplemental
education that is typically left out of traditional childbirth
education classes. Fear is the number one reason for long,
painful births. It is vital that you are confident, when
you enter the hospital, about the process of birth and that
you are as relaxed as possible. For this reason, you can
have as many prenatal visits as you need.
Your Doula will be on call 24/7 starting 2 weeks prior to
your due date. Once your labor begins, she will come to be
with you from the time that you determine (at home with you
during early labor, or at the hospital). The Doula cannot
check your cervical progress. She will remain with you and
your birth team until after the baby has been born (approx. 2 hours
after birth) and then meet with you again 1-2 times postnatally.
From the time that you contract her services, until your last prenatal
visit, you will have access to phone counseling during prescribed
hours of the day.
