Doula Care
Guiding you through the beauty of birth and beyond!
What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expectant mothers and their families before, during, and after childbirth. They make sure the whole experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible for both parents and their precious new arrival.
The MomMe Clinic offers several Doula Service Packages to provide support for your journey through pregnancy!
Prenatal Education
Doulas provide evidence-based information about pregnancy, labor, and childbirth options. They help parents make informed decisions about their birth plan, understand their choices, and navigate the healthcare system.
Birth Plan Assistance
Doulas assist in creating a birth plan that aligns with the parents' preferences and wishes. They help outline preferences for pain management, interventions, and other aspects of labor and delivery.
Doulas offer a consistent source of support throughout the prenatal period, building a trusting relationship with the expectant parents. This continuity can reduce anxiety and enhance the birthing experience.
Continuity of Care
A Doula Can Help Before Labour Begins!
Our doula's prenatal support is focused on empowering expectant parents with knowledge, confidence, and emotional stability as they prepare for labor and childbirth.
Our doula's role during labor is to enhance your birthing experience, reduce stress and anxiety, facilitate communication with your healthcare team, and empower you and your partner to make informed decisions and cope effectively with the challenges of childbirth.
A doula provides essential support to women during labor, encompassing emotional, physical, and informational aspects. Offering emotional reassurance, comfort, and encouragement throughout the birthing process, doulas ensure women feel empowered and supported. Through techniques like massage, positioning suggestions, and relaxation methods, they alleviate pain and discomfort during labor. Acting as advocates for women's preferences, facilitating communication with medical staff, and providing evidence-based information, doulas empower informed decision-making. Additionally, they guide partners on supporting women effectively, enhancing involvement and ensuring informed participation.
There are so many benefits to having a Doula present at your birth!
Practical Assistance
They assist with a variety of practical tasks, including newborn care, feeding support (breastfeeding or bottle-feeding), diapering, bathing, and soothing techniques for the baby. Postpartum doulas can help with light household chores such as meal preparation, laundry, and tidying up to ease the load on new parents.
Parent Education & Breastfeeding Help
They provide guidance and information on newborn care, infant development, feeding, and postpartum recovery. They can answer questions and offer evidence-based advice. For families choosing to breastfeed, postpartum doulas can assist with latching and positioning, troubleshoot common breastfeeding challenges, and offer encouragement.
Postpartum doulas offer emotional support to new parents, helping them navigate the emotional ups and downs that can accompany the transition to parenthood. Postpartum doulas encourage self-care for new parents, reminding them to rest, eat well, and take time for themselves when possible.
Emotional Support
Postpartum Support That Every Family Needs!
Our doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to new parents in the weeks and months following childbirth. In the postpartum period, her main focus is to nurture and assist your new family during the challenging and rewarding early days of parenthood. Their support can help reduce stress, enhance confidence, and promote a smoother transition into parenthood.
