Doula Services for Labor and Delivery
(limited to patients of Wombkeepers)
Doulas provide physical and emotional support for a woman and her partner during labor and birth. WombKeepers offers help and advice for comfort measures during labor: breathing, relaxation, movement, and positioning. Multiple studies have shown that women laboring with a doula require less medical intervention, use epidurals at a lower rate, and have a lower cesarean section rate.
Our doulas also provide LACTATION SUPPORT for breastfeeding mothers after delivery. While Wombkeepers advocate a natural approach to labor and delivery, a doula is a wonderful companion for your labor journey, whether you choose a medicated or non-medicated approach. They can truly help you have a more “conscious” and “holistic” pregnancy and birth experience. We believe labor is an opportunity for women to learn about themselves and discover the strength and wisdom inherent in their bodies. |
