Our comprehensive doula services include prenatal education, partner training, virtual childbirth and breastfeeding classes, birth planning, labor support both at home and in the hospital, breastfeeding support, and a postpartum visit. Our experienced doulas are dedicated to guiding you through your pregnancy and birth journey.
Does the timing of when I hire you affect the cost?
No, our fee remains the same regardless of when you hire us during your pregnancy. We recommend engaging our services early to fully benefit from detailed birth planning and education throughout your pregnancy.
How do I reserve a doula for my due date?
To secure a doula for your due date, start by scheduling a consultation with us. We’ll meet to discuss your needs and hold your due date for 10 days, giving you time to decide. To finalize the booking, complete our online form and submit the required deposit to secure your spot.
Do you support c-section births?
Absolutely! We provide support before, during, and after cesarean births. Depending on hospital policy, your doula can be present during the procedure to offer comfort, facilitate initial breastfeeding, and provide post-surgery care information.
How long will you support me at my birth?
Our support is not limited by time. We stay with you throughout your labor and delivery, no matter how long it takes, ensuring you have the support you need.
Do you support epidural or medicated births?
Yes, we fully support all types of birth experiences. Whether you choose an epidural or other medications, we provide comprehensive support using techniques like rebozo and peanut ball to enhance your comfort during labor.
Can you incorporate prayer and scripture into my birth experience?
Yes, we are committed to integrating faith into our support if you wish. We can pray with you, share scriptures, and use religious affirmations throughout your pregnancy and labor.
Do you offer childbirth classes or postpartum preparation as standalone services?
Yes, we offer standalone childbirth classes and postpartum preparation sessions, which cover everything from hospital bag packing to nursery setup. These services are available to all, whether or not you are a birth doula client.
What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?
Doulas and midwives serve different roles. While midwives manage the medical aspects of childbirth, doulas provide emotional, educational, and physical support throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. We focus on comfort and advocacy from a non-medical perspective, enhancing your birth experience.
