Birth Support with EducationOur birth doulas provide two prenatal visits for each doula client. The first prenatal visit will include comfort measures, stages of labor, childbirth options and preferences. We will also share information about the most common ways labor begins and the signs and symptoms of early labor. The second prenatal visit will revolve around your birth plan and the "game plan" for the day. As experienced doulas, we provide prenatal education regarding the common practices at your birthplace. Common practices may include hospital protocols, your birth plan and your careprovider, and how your birth vision can be met without stress or fear. We fill in any questions regarding the birthing process and help provide help with planning and preparation for your big day. Birth doula support for active labor, birth and immediately postpartum. Experienced support including comfort measures, hypno-method relaxation, guidance for your birth partner through the process, support for your entire birth team to help keep everyone present at the birth rested and involved in the birth. Our comfort measures will meet you where you are in labor and support you and your birth vision. Your birth vision is important and we assist in keeping the details communicated to your birth team. We also help to guide you through options as they may change during the unpredictable birth process. This support option provides pregnancy support for any questions which arise, two prenatal visits, active labor doula support, immediate postpartum care and initial breastfeeding support and a postpartum visit and birth "recap". |
Labor Only Birth Doula OptionFor second time mothers or clients who are taking a full prenatal education course elsewhere, we offer a "Labor Only" birth doula option. Our doulas will meet with you for an in-person interview and consultation with contract signing. We will provide labor and birth support at your home or birthplace. We will support you immediately postpartum and during initial breastfeeding during the 90 minutes following birth. Your birth doula will provide a postpartum check-in by phone. If you would like to extend the postpartum visit with an in-person check-in, it can be done so at an hourly rate. |
