Summer has arrived, along with so many sweet babies!

We did it! Our Doulas and Birth Professionals came together over the weekend for community and friendship, and to generously donate items for Yasiin’s Luv.

Yasiin’s Luv works tirelessly to bring essential services to families in need. It is our joy and privilege to help them in their mission.

New, Unwrapped items will be accepted through July 31, and lovingly donated to our community partner, Yasiin’s Luv.

I hired a Doula! Should I still take a childbirth class?

Yes! Even if your doula teaches childbirth education classes, you should still take a childbirth class!

A standard birth doula package includes 1-2 prenatal visits, approximately 1 hour each. These valuable visits are spent getting to know you and your partner, understanding what your birth preferences are, and planning for labor support and postpartum care. They can help you prepare your birth plan, but there simply isn’t time for a full childbirth preparation class.

There are many different childbirth education options available: Express Childbirth, HypnoBirthing, Body Ready Birth, Birthing from Within, Comfort Massage and Positions, and so much more! Doula Love also offers Breastfeeding, Newborn Care, Infant CPR, and Baby Sleep classes. Doula Love Birth & Postpartum clients can also receive complimentary classes and additional discounts.

“I had such an amazing experience using Doula Love doula services. AshLee was such an awesome woman to work with and have someone just be there and be so respectful to what my birth plan was and always encouraged me to listen to my body. She was so sweet and kind and made me feel so comfortable with reaching out whenever I needed something especially because it was my first pregnancy!”
