What is a Doula?
Doula is a Greek word and refers to a woman experienced in childbirth that provides physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during, and just after childbirth.
Giving birth is much more than a medical procedure. It is an emotional as well as a physical journey, and having doula helps ease the transition from pregnancy into parenthood for both parents.

 Will I Meet The Doula Before I Begin The Labor?
Doulas meet with parents for a prenatal consultation and then stay in touch with the family by phone. The Doula meets the laboring mother at the hospital to provide continuous labor support and stays through the delivery of the baby. Prior to discharge, the Doula will return to the hospital to visit with the new family and bring the completed Birth Story.
