Postpartum Doula Services
A doula can provide physical and emotional support during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Doulas perform different roles depending on individual needs, and offer a variety of services including childbirth education, personalized referrals, reassurance, birth plan development and pain management, labor position and movement techniques. Doulas are not medical professionals, but in many cases can help navigate the medical system by providing education about common medical practices and procedures and communicating preferences to medical staff.
