a doula will help us make decisions by providing information and support.
Abbey will be on call for you 24 hours a day beginning 1 week before your estimated due date and ending after the birth of your child. (2 weeks before your EDD if you are expecting multiples). this means that she will: Always carry her cell phone and will not leave the Fort Worth Area during the on call period.
Abbey will provide 1-3 prenatal visits in your home or other meeting place if you choose. (If you are using virtual services prenatal visits will be over phone or internet) At these visits she will: Help form a birth plan, discuss our choices, go over coping measures, and discuss risks/benefits of various choices.
Abbey will provide continuous labor support from the time you ask her to come (or the time you choose for video or phone support to begin for virtual doula services) until the after the baby is born. She will not leave unless you ask her to, and even then, will be available by phone (only exception is short periodical breaks). Abbey will take turns with your other support persons taking a naps/breaks when needed.
Abbey will provide 1 postpartum visit to discuss the birth, answer questions, and provide breastfeeding support. This meetin is scheduled at your convenience, either at a convenient location, your home, the hospital, or via phone call.

I/We will keep Abbey informed about our pregnancy as it develops.
I/We will contact Abbey as soon as we think we might be in labor, and to keep her informed as the labor develops even if we do not need her to come yet.
I/We will contact Abbey when we feel we need her, and understand that it may take 1-2 hours for her to reach us
I/We will discuss our preferences with Abbey and clearly state our choices to her. She will support us in any decision we make.
I/We understand that this is our birth, while everything Abbey does is aimed in helping us have our desired birth story, that can only happen if we clearly understand our options, ask questions, and state our choices/opinions to her and our health care providers.
