As a Birth Doula, I help you prepare for the birth of your newborn. For each Birth I offer:

• On-call support during pregnancy

• Two prenatal visits

  • Each visit is 1 ½ hours long

  • We focus on a Birth and Postpartum vision, labor stages, comfort techniques, labor positions, and much more.

• Attend the birth

• One postpartum visit that lasts about 2 hours

  • We process the birth experience, go over the postpartum vision and add updates, and assess additional postpartum needs

Labor Positions: What are they and why are they important?

• Labor positions are movements and stances that women can use during labor to help in delivering their baby. They help to reduce the use of medical interventions such as C-Sections and epidurals through the use of gravity and such forces.

  • Note-It is always best to practice these positions with one other person for safety

• Positions include but not limited to forms of squatting, standing, kneeling, sitting, side-lying, lunges, and walking.

  • I advise women to change positions often during labor to ease pain, speed up labor, as well as reduce medical interventions
