Doula FAQ's

What is a doula?
A doula is a childbirth professional that supports, empowers, and educates mothers and their partners during prenatal, labor, and postpartum aspects of pregnancy and childbirth.
Can a Doula help after the baby has arrived?
Doulas also offer postpartum support and allow mothers to rest while they’re healing from childbirth. They will often come in to check on families, do light housework, and watch the baby so mom can shower, sleep and often bring food. For an hour or two so mom can have time to adjust to her new journey.
What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?
The main difference is that doulas are not medically trained. They are there simply to offer guidance and support throughout the pregnancy.
“Doulas can help you birth your baby at home, at birthing centers, in hospitals, with or without pain medication — even if you have a C-section or choose to have your baby in the woods, a doula can help wherever or however you choose to have your baby.
Midwives, on the other hand, are medically trained and are generally tasked with the same duties as an OBGYN, but they will likely spend more time with the birthing family than a doctor would. They also do more home deliveries.
