We’ve come to our last day for our series on 5 simple ways you can prep for birth using “D.O.U.L.A.”! Today’s tip is a special one😉🤍
>>>Always hire a doula! 😜
Throughout any life transition people need and desire support. The journey of pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum is one of those instances that people need support the most- and may not even realize it.
The idea of having a doula is not new one-the concept of having a companion provide support to birthing women dates back to prehistoric times. We are so thankful it’s come full circle and is becoming more common again because one too many generations went without support.
Many women from those generations often look back and WISH that type of support was something that they did have.
✅Our knowledge and support is valuable and beneficial regardless of what you desire for the birth of your baby.
Although planning is important, birth can also be very unpredictable- but we will be there every step of the way whenever plans may change. Our local nurses are fantastic and we love when they are just as involved with us in the labor room. However, they can get busy with other patients and charting which could leave some families alone- that is just the nature of hospitals.
✨As your doulas, our one and only purpose is to be there for you and your family! ✨
Here are some tips to help you find the perfect doula👇🏼👇🏼
-Find out what kind of training and certification they have
-Check out google/yelp reviews
-How does the doula make you FEEL?
-Ask friends & family for recommendations
-Trust your gut
We encourage you to interview and shop around when looking for a doula. There are many great doula choices in our area, but most importantly, we want you to find the one that is the best for you and your family.
