Who needs a Doula

You may want to consider hiring a doula if any of the following scenarios describe your situation:

  • You are pregnant for the first time and unsure about how you feel about labor. Or, you know how you feel bout labor; you are afraid, or anxious.
  • You have already had one, or more, births, but you feel that if you had the right help you could have a better experience this time.
  • You just want to have as natural a birth as possible, with as few interventions as necessary.
  • You have limited or no knowledgeable support for the birth process.
  • Your partner is nervous or worried about his ability to be of help to you during birth.
  • You have medical problems such as a previous C-Section, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. and just want someone to help you sort out your options.
  • You are having a Medicated Birth
  • You have concerns over how to put it all together after the birth, and may just want a postpartum doula to help you get back on your feet.

At BIRTH WORKS we believe that every woman deserves a doula. Why? Because:

  • Birth Works doulas are experts in natural birth.
  • We work for you rather than for the hospital or for the doctor. We can be by your side even before you enter the hospital. And we will stay with you throughout labor and delivery. We also visit you several times after you return home, to be sure your needs are met.
  • Our doulas offer non-medical support. We are advocates for you and your partner. We can teach you the verbal and non-verbal communication skills you both will need to understand how to work together during labor.
  • We can offer suggestions and help in developing a birth plan that will be totally customized to your own special needs. And we can help you with the skills you will need to discuss your ideas with your doctor and the hospital staff.
  • We know the normal parameters of pregnancy and labor. We can help you understand if medical concerns are on the horizon, and what options might be considered by you and your partner.
  • Our doulas often know the medical personnel and hospital staff you will be working with. They can help you ease into the hospital environment without fear.
