Birth Support Package
My belief as a mother and a Doula is that womens bodies were made for childbirth and that it is not something to be scared of but should rather be embraced. It can be a deeply satisfying and amazing experience if you have to confidence to let it be, and this is what i hope to achieve as my role as a birth doula. My job is to support you in the decisions you make and guide you through a wonderful time on the final lead up to the arrival of your baby.
Having a doula present during your labour has proved to be of great benefit, reducing labour times and the need for pain relief and Intervention
If booked, we will have two antenatal meetings, ideally at around 35 and 37 weeks, or at a time convenient to you. In these meetings we will discuss Previous pregnancy/labour and how you feel about these, your current pregnancies and your hopes for labour, what you hope to gain from my presence, any concerns you have and really anything that you feel you would like to discuss before the big day.
I will be on call for your birth from 38 weeks until the baby is born and can be contacted anytime during this period. When you feel you need me for the birth i can be called to come either to your house initially and then to hospital or straight to hospital or your home if considering a home birth.
There will also be a postnatal visit when you feel you would like me to come. Here we can talk about your labour and birth and clear anything up that you want to go over - a good debrief is important!
