Every birth doula has a little “starter pack” of essentials that come along to support the birth space. Some items help with comfort during labor, like a yoga ball for movement, a heating pad for soothing relief, and cool washcloths when things get intense. Snacks and water help keep energy up during long hours, while small comforts like essential oils can create a calming environment.
But the most important things a doula brings can’t be packed in a bag. A steady presence, encouragement, and support for the entire family through every stage of birth. ❤️
