Doula Service

FOR PREGNANCY & BIRTH

Women in labour need on-going encouragement, support, reasurance, empathy and help.

Using a doula can provide you with this care in labour and, through support during pregnancy, can mean greater satisfaction in your birth experience.

I can provide you with reassurance, information, the opportunity to ask questions and support during pregnancy and labour so that you can feel listened to, more relaxed, in control and better prepared for the birth of your baby.

 The Birth Package includes:

Two antenatal meetings – to get to know each other and to prepare for the birth of your baby together. As an experienced antenatal teacher, you will have the opportunity to gain information as well as positions and breathing skills for labour.

Birth Support – I will provide support when you need it in labour whether you are booked for a home or hospital birth. I will be on-call for you between 38-42 weeks.

Two postnatal visits - I can provide you with support and answer any questions you may have about the birth or looking after your new baby. I can help to bath your new baby, provide help with feeding or give you with the opportunity to rest, bathe and eat a meal.

 

As part of the package, you can also email or call me before and after the birth of your baby if you have any questions or need support.

About Me

Being able to support expectant and new parents is so important to me, it’s my passion.  As a birth doula I can provide you with reassurance and support during pregnancy and in labour, as well as one-to-one support, helping you to remain calm and in control.

Help with a new baby is also important for many parents and I can provide practical support for families, which can include helping to look after older siblings or looking after baby so mum can rest and sleep.
It’s the small things that can make a huge difference to a family and, as a mother and experienced parent supporter,
I understand those needs.
