A birth doula provides physical and emotional support during labor and also during the perinatal periods. They help provide resources and go through birth preparations. Most have a tool bag to help support their clients. They have knowledge of positions and techniques that can be used during labor to support their client.
Hiring a doula comes with an understanding that there will be appointments that will occasionally have to be rescheduled. We can be called to a birth any time day or night. Sometimes this happens during scheduled appointment times. The doula will always contact the client to reschedule.
