WHAT DOULA SUPPORT LOOKS LIKE

  • The first step is a consultation where we get to meet one another. I learn about you, the birth you are wanting, and what you are looking for in a doula. You learn more about me and how I can best support you. It’s a stress free way to see if we are a good match.

  • During the prenatal period, I work with you to empower you and equip you with the knowledge you need to create your best pregnancy and birth. I help you understand any prenatal testing and your options. I also help you work through any anxiety and release fears you may have prior to birth.

  • I help walk you through all your birthing options to help you customize your birth preference list and build your birth plan. This is also the time when you will take the Birth Restored childbirth education class.

    Once your plan has been created, your bags are packed, and you’re prepared, I wait with you for your birthing day to arrive.

  • Once your birthing day has arrived, I will meet you during active labor to provide support. This is normally at your home. When you are ready, I will follow you to your birthing location to continue to support you physically and emotionally throughout your entire labor.

  • After your precious baby has arrived, I will stay with you for the first 1.5-2.5 hours. My goal is to help support you in the immediate postpartum. This includes helping you nurse baby, nourish yourself, dress, etc.

    About 1-2 weeks after birth, I will come visit you in your home. I will provide emotional support throughout those early days and can also support you with breastfeeding, baby wearing, and general maternal postpartum care.
