Doula Services for Labor and Delivery A part of your included care at Wombkeepers
Doulas provide physical and emotional support for a woman and her partner during labor and birth. They offer 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.
Doulas also provide LACTATION SUPPORT for breastfeeding mothers in the delivery room. 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.
If you are not a Wombkeepers patient, our trusted team of doulas can also support you during your delivery. Contact us for information or consider one of our wellness packages to take advantage of everything the Wellness Center at Wombkeepers has to offer.
