As a doula I believe that families deserve all the support they need to make informed decisions, have access to evidence based information on pregnancy, birth, and child rearing. I believe in the evidence based studies that show families and mothers who are supported throughout their labor and birth have better birth outcomes, lower c-sections rates, and their baby’s have better APGAR scores. And I also believe in the evidence that moms, dads, and babies have an easier time with this transition if a good support team is in place, like postpartum doula care.
Is a Postpartum Doula Right For Me?
1. Do you have specific desires for your Postpartum period? You do not have to have any specific kind of birth or postpartum plan to hire a doula, many women who have C-sections or vaginal births hire a postpartum doula to be there during their journey into parenthood. Studies show that families who choose doulas are more satisfied with their overall birth experience.
2. Are You Looking for Additional Support After Birth?
Having extra support is crucial to ensuring that you have the information and guidance for making informed decisions and gaining physical, emotional, and informational knowledge and support. A doula can also support by advocating for you, your baby, your family, and your rights.
3. Do you want to learn more about birth or postpartum and your rights?
Doulas are invaluable resources and can be a great way for you to expand your knowledge. Families who are informed of their rights and informed on basic elements of birth are more likely to make informed decisions and more likely to be satisfied with their birth experience overall. Voices of eve also has an Online Childbirth Class to help with this too!
