Information about Doulas

Expectant mothers and their partners may choose to hire a doula as another member of their birth team.

 

Different from a medical care provider, doulas do not perform clinical tasks but instead offer emotional, informational, and non-medical physical support. 

 

Although every birth professional offers their own specific services, birth/labor doulas typically meet with their clients prenatally to discuss a variety of topics such as birth plans and comfort measures for labor, and often also provide phone support during the pregnancy. A birth doula might work with clients seeking to give birth at home, in a hospital, or in a birth center (or any of the three), and is present during labor and delivery and the immediate postpartum recovery phase. Postpartum doulas can provide support to a mother in a variety of ways in the days, weeks, or months after delivery, such as helping her get adequate rest and nourishment, giving breastfeeding encouragement if she has chosen to nurse, providing information on newborn care, helping with visits from family and friends, or easing the transition into becoming a larger family. 

 

Here is information on some of the local independent doulas in our community:
