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.
Our Doula staff will be happy to meet with you and discuss all our services. Call Noelle for an appointment.
