Deborah Hannam - Gloucestershire Doula & Tewkesbury Antenatal

Deborah Hannam - Gloucestershire Doula & Tewkesbury Antenatal Nurturing doula providing support for pregnancy, birth & beyond in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and surrounding areas. (Cochrane, 2017).

As your doula I aim to ensure you feel heard and empowered to make the choices that are right for you. I will be your reassurance and emotional and physical support throughout your labour, wherever and however you choose to birth your baby and make sure you feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I have experience in supporting births at home, birth centres, hospital birth, caesarean birth, multiple

pregnancy, VBAC, surrogacy..... each and every birth I have the privilege to attend is as unique and individual as the women I support. DOULAS SUPPORT BIRTH PARTNERS TOO.......

Sometimes doulas will be your only birthing support, either through choice or circumstance, but doulas are also there to support fathers, mothers, partners, grandparents. Whoever is there for you, doulas are there for them too. If you have a birthing partner, your doula is not there to take their place, but to support, encourage and enhance the birthing experience for you both. THE EVIDENCE......

Having a doula by your side during labour & birth has so many wonderful benefits. Reduced need for medical pain management

Reduced rates of interventions during birth

39% less likely to have an unplanned cesarean birth

Reduced rate of induction of labour

Shortening of length of labour

Parents are more likely to consider they have had a positive birth experience

"Continuous support in labour may improve outcomes for both mother and baby.....continuous support from a person who is present solely to provide support, is not a member of the woman's own network, is experienced in providing labour support...(such as a doula), appears beneficial."

What does my doula support look like? All these things and more.🥰🤰🏽

It's hard to describe how a doula supports her clients....for me its more about how it feels to have someone by your side, someone who is there to support you with whatever decisions YOU choose to make and to be your greatest cheerleader. The someone who'll be there to talk things through, be your listening ear, who'll be that feeling of being held, your reassurance and your safe space throughout your pregnancy and as you birth your baby.
