FAQ’s
-
A doula can greatly enhance your experience of childbirth and the postpartum months. Your birth doula will be at your side along with your Dr./midwife and partner, as part of your team for continuous support during labor and birth. Or maybe you’d like a postpartum doula to help you through the transition into parenthood and family. Either way, finding a good fit for you and your family is critical.
-
Doulas provide physical, emotional, and informational support for you and your partner before, during and after childbirth. Hiring a Doula not only means that you aren’t doing this alone but also ensures a trained and experienced expert will guide you through the process of having a baby, no matter where or bow you give birth.
-
Yes! Most medical facilities and birth centers consider doulas as part of the labor support team, so you can still bring other visitors with you. This changed for a period during COVID, but has gotten back to normal for most facilities, but check with your local hospital or birth center as guidelines are subject to change.
-
Nurture Doulas in no way replace your partner in your birth experience. Our role is to support and enhance the role that your partner can play in your birth experience. Supporting you physically, emotionally and mentally during your birth, leaves space for your partner to focus on the important things: YOU and your baby.
-
Absolutely. Nurture Doulas know that this is a family experience. And whether this is your first, third, or seventh baby (yes, we have repeat clients who have had up to seven babies with us), each birth is different and each partner experience can be different. A doula supports both mom and partner in preparation for and during birth.
-
Offering breastfeeding knowledge, support, and assistance.
Helping with newborn care, such as diaper changes, naps, and feedings.
Gives mom a break by holding or feeding the baby so that she can rest, take a walk, or read a magazine.
Provides assistance with light housekeeping such as loading the dishwasher, meal prep, or folding laundry
Providing resources to related services, such as birthing classes or a lactation consultant.
Postpartum doulas are experts in normal newborn behavior and appearance, and normal postpartum healing. They do not diagnose medical issues, but they can point out things that don't seem normal so that parents can contact the appropriate professional.
A postpartum doula's responsibilities change each day based on your needs. Their role has its roots in a philosophy of experienced women supporting other women as they welcome a new baby into the family. A postpartum doula gives you physical and emotional support after the birth of your baby. Our doulas are CAPPA certified and follow a CAPPA scope of practice, using evidence-based information in their approach.
