Birth Doula Services
_BIRTH SUPPORT includes:
• An interview (at no charge). I invite you to ask questions about how doulas help, my experience and training, and the services I offer.
Once hired I offer:
• Two prenatal visits at your home with both you and your partner. This is an opportunity to get to know each other and to get a sense of how I can help you have a safe, healthy and satisfying birth experience as you define it. I invite you to share with me your hopes and concerns about giving birth, your preferences about your care and your baby's care during pregnancy, labor, delivery and the immediate postpartum period.
• By request I can attend prenatal visits with your health care provider and/or accompany you during prenatal procedures.
• Unlimited daytime phone and email contact with you for the remainder of your pregnancy.
• I will be on call for you from week 37 to week 42 of your pregnancy.
• CONTINUOUS LABOR SUPPORT = I will join you at home or at the hospital at any point in your labor that you wish. I will provide emotional, physical and informational support until your baby is born and you and your new family are resting comfortably (typically two hours post birth).
• One postpartum visit to check in, provide support and help you process your birth story.
I also provide sibling doula services for siblings attending a homebirth. Contact me for additional information.
