What does a labor/birth doula do?
A labor/birth doula provides physical and emotional support, education, and advocacy to birthing individuals before, during, and after childbirth. A labor/birth doula does NOT perform medical tasks, give medical advice, or replace any of your medical team (midwives, doctors, nurses, etc).
Before Birth:
Discuss the birth process
Help to form a birth plan(s)
Discuss options so you can make informed opinions
Teach comfort measures/coping techniques
Help prepare the partner
24/7 text support for any questions or concerns that may arise
During Labor & Delivery:
Offer physical support (massage, counter pressure, etc)
Suggest labor positions
Offer reassurance and encouragement
Explain medical terms and procedures to ensure you understand what is happening
Help you communicate your preferences to medical staff
Take pictures (optional)
Postpartum:
Initial breastfeeding support
Meet with you one last time to answer any questions/check in, and provide more emotional support
