The Doula Network of Fort Wayne

Doulas provide evidence-based information, and physical and emotional support to moms and partners during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey.

The Doula Network of Fort Wayne (DNFW) is an association of independent doulas in and around Fort Wayne, Indiana, joined together to support and encourage one another and to increase the public's awareness of the benefits of working with a doula before, during, and after birth. We are NOT a doula practice or a training organization, but a group of professionals working to positively impact the loc

al birth culture. We are both birth and postpartum doulas who support all choices for labor, birth, and postpartum, the only criteria being that the mother-to-be is the one making them. Our doulas are as unique and varied as the families we serve. But one thing is certain - we're ALL passionate about and deeply committed to helping local women and their families have the kind of labor, birth, and postpartum experience they always hoped possible.

We're taking a moment to recognize the special relationships between doulas and nurses during Nurses Week! We dropped off care packages to local L&D units to thank the nurses we have the privilege to partner with.

We also including a longtime DNFW project - our hospital binders! These binders include DNFW doulas and info about our organization, to ensure positive communication between doulas and hospital staff, with the goal of centering our clients' needs and providing the best care.

Our community is best served when we all support one another!

It's World Doula Week! This week, we celebrate the unique role of doulas in perinatal care, from pregnancy and birth to postpartum.

Doula work is, at its heart, rooted in serving families along the journey of childbirth, but goes far beyond that. While doulas may be associated with the labor and birth itself, their role begins long before a baby is born. From pre-conception planning, to pregnancy care, to labor, to immediate postpartum, to extended postpartum and beyond, doulas support families through every stage of welcoming a baby.

This year, we're celebrating all the unique forms doula work can take, with a special look at the past 20 years of consistent support the DNFW doulas have shown this community.
