What is a doula cuddle? 🤗

A cuddle is the collective name for a group of doulas.

Your cuddle is the people you call after a long birth. The ones who celebrate you and all you do. Those that know what it takes to do this role. You might do shared care together, work as a collective, live nearby or have bonded on your doula training. Your cuddle may be through the phone, in person or online. However your cuddle works, we all know how good it feels to be seen, heard and cuddled!

Our cuddle is at the heart of Developing Doulas. We arrange retreats, organise meet ups and have a nationwide online community. We know how invaluable this support is and lovingly nurture it for all DD’s because being a lone worker doesn’t need to mean working alone. 💜

“Doulas remind us that birth is not just a medical event, but a human one where steady hands, calm voices, and unwavering presence can change everything."

Doulas hold space when things feel uncertain, listen deeply, and honour the strength already within.

Birth is not meant to be rushed or feared. It is a rite of passage. It’s meant to be witnessed, supported, respected and sacred.

https://openletter.earth/an-open-letter-on-birth-in-defence-of-midwives-mothers-and-the-truth-b6b91d96

We need parents, grandparents and family members who see the changes happening across UK maternity care to add their weight to this message.

Your voices are important to this campaign. Maternity care is for you, your family, your babies and grandchildren.

Whether you are currently pregnant, have birthed recently, or are simply an advocate for the next generation, your signature signifies that you demand better, and believe there is a future where midwifery is protected and funded appropriately.

​We are asking you to sign the Open Letter if you believe:

​In Autonomy: That the mother or birthing person is the ultimate decision-maker. ​

In Support: That midwives must be supported to practice true midwifery, not just obstetric nursing.

​In Transparency: That parents deserve the full truth about the risks and benefits of all interventions and help to make safe decisions.
