Labor / Postpartum Doula Support

What your Traditional Labor Support Doula will do for you:

• They will assist you in a safe and supported birth.
• They will meet with you and your birth partner(s) in advance to get acquainted and talk about your birth.
• They will be available by phone for other questions/concerns before and after your birth.  
• They will meet you at home/hospital when you are in labor and go with you to the hospital stay throughout your labor and birth and for 1-2 hours afterward. 
• They will make suggestions for labor progress and encourage you to get information to make decisions.
• They will visit you following the birth to see how things are going and to review your birth
• After the birth, they will provide information for postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and baby care. 
• As your Doula, they are working for you, not your caregiver or hospital.
• If, for any reason, they are unable to come or continue as your Doula, we will ensure that a backup Doula takes their place.
