Doula Services

Birth doulas provide physical and emotional support to moms and their partners before, during and after labor.

Studies have shown that a doulas presence at birth can:

  • result in shorter labors
  • reduce the rates of interventions and cesarean birth
  • reduce mother’s request for pain medication
  • increase positive feelings about the birth experience

Doula services include:

    • a home visit to discuss plans for labor and birth
    • 24 hours a day on call for the two weeks before you due date until you give birth
    • unlimited phone support until labor begins
    • labor with mom and dad at home and help with transition to the hospital, unless a home birth is planned
    • support throughout the entire birthing process and up to two hours postpartum to help facilitate breastfeeding
    • a postpartum visit that included a lactation consultation in the early postpartum period

    Please call for pricing and schedule availability.
