Are you pregnant or planning for a baby and overwhelmed at how much information is out there?

Are you worried that if you don’t remember absolutely everything, something will go wrong?

This is an extremely common experience but ultimately birth is not a test you have to pass.

Birth doulas are incredibly knowledgeable birth workers whose precise purpose is to help you with informational support.

You can go to them with any questions and desired plans for your birth and they will hold those wishes for you.

You don’t have to hold everything on your own❗️

Are you giving birth and your family is out of town or lives in another country?

Birth doulas are people who can comfort you during your birth when family can’t be there.

What’s more, doulas support you with no agenda. They care only about YOU and the best outcome. No expectations or outside pressures.

Could you benefit from having someone to help with pain relief, inspiring confidence, and advocating for your wishes? Then you might want a doula!

Did you know that birth doulas work in a variety of settings? Not just home births, contrary to popular belief!

Birth doulas adapt to each environment while providing the same continuous care, comfort, and reassurance throughout labor, whether that be at home, in birthing center, or a hospital.💪🏽

Their support isn’t tied to a location; it’s centered on the needs and desires of the family.

As part of our February series, ‘Birth Support, Explained,’ we went back to basics on what birth doula support is; thank you for following along with us.💜

More birth support doesn’t mean less medicine.

Having a doula and a medical provider is a team approach. Continuous support and medical expertise can exist in the same room, strengthening care instead of competing at the expense of it.💪🏽

It’s not either/or. It’s collaborative care that cares for the person holistically and leads to better outcomes.

During Black History Month, it's important to acknowledge the lasting impact of the erasure of Black and Indigenous midwifery and how it directly impacts birth outcomes today.

Black midwives welcomed and saved countless lives in the US. The systematic erasure of a huge part of Black midwifery was and remains devastating.

We need more midwives overall, but we also need more Black midwives in the US.

Doulas do not replace midwives. Doulas do not lessen the need for more midwives. But doulas can positively impact the birthing experience for each family they serve despite these broken systems.

This article covers a bit of how Black doulas can improve birth experiences for growing Black families.
