Ever wondered what "exactly" a doula is???
What is a Doula?
💜 A doula is a nonclinical birth worker who can transform a woman’s birthing experience by providing physical, emotional, and educational support.
💜 Birth Doulas focus on supporting women through every step of the birth process, whether you’re choosing an unmedicated birth, using pain medication, or navigating a high-risk pregnancy. Doulas are trained to be a consistent presence, offering comfort, reassurance, and advocacy during labor and beyond.
💜 Labor doulas are your guide during the most intense moments of labor, giving you personalized care that adjusts to your unique needs. Whether you’re at home or in the hospital with medical staff, they work alongside the hospital staff as an added layer of support.
đź’ś A postpartum doula steps in after birth to help with the emotional and physical recovery process. From newborn care to assisting with your mental health, a postpartum doula ensures that you are nurtured during those critical first days and weeks after delivery.
Choosing doula care can lead to improved outcomes during and after birth, giving birthing individuals a sense of empowerment. With a doula by your side, you’re not just going through the motions of labor; you’re crafting a birthing where your voice is heard, your body is supported, and your heart is cared for.
