Birth & Postnatal Doula Services and Birth Preparation
If you are expecting and don't have extended family on hand (mother, mother-in-law, sisters) or if you prefer not to have to rely on them at this time. If you want to look after your baby yourself, but would welcome support from an experienced mother then it is time to call a Doula. Women helping women through birth is an ancient practice, but as childbirth moved from the home to the hospital, sadly this valuable support and care began to disappear. Women no longer always have one-to-one support from midwives during pregnancy and birth. This can have a dramatic affect on a woman's confidence and is why continuous care through pregnancy, labour and birth is invaluable. A Doula is there to "mother the mother", to support and help mothers and their families during pregnancy, birth and postnatally and for as long and as often as you want. Support from a Doula provides physical and emotional benefits for mothers and health bonuses for their babies. Having a birth Doula present during labour and birth has shown to lead to less medical intervention, fewer complications and shorter hospital stays. A Doula can ease the pressure, making the experience much more enjoyable and memorable, as it should be. We also recognise the need for new mothers to take it easy after the birth, to have time to settle in with your new baby and time for older siblings. Doulas can work full or part time depending on the family’s needs.
