So you know what a doula is now (see previous post if not). But you might still be wondering why hiring one could be a good choice. What could we possibly bring to the table that your partner, family member or midwife couldn’t? The short answer is loads, but I’ll elaborate a bit for you!
The reality is that birth givers have a lot to do, and in order to do it all they need top class support. A midwife knows their stuff, but they don’t know you? And your partner might know you like the back of their hand, but do they know pregnancy and birth? And what do you do when they need a rest, the toilet, to eat/sleep/scream? You hire a doula that’s what!
We are there continuously - throughout pregnancy right through labour and birth and possibly into the postpartum period, so we get to know you. What your goals are. What a positive outcome for you and your birth is and then we provide types and levels of support that a midwife can’t in order to help you achieve this.
Doulas help you get the birth you want and deserve. That’s our only job. And that’s why you should hire one!
