BIRTH Doula
As a birth Doula my aim is to provide reassurance, support and
security to the woman in labour. I will do all I can to facilitate a
labour and birth which encompasses the mother's wishes, acting as
advocate if necessary.
My service includes the following:-
An initial meeting (free of charge) to get to know you
At least 3 antenatal visits to get to know each other, discuss birth
wishes etc
A folder of relevant information
Telephone and email contact throughout
24 hour on call support from 10 days before your due date until your baby is born
Constant attendance during labour, birth and until you are settled and
comfortable, usually after the first feed
A postnatal visit giving you the opportunity to talk about your
birth and support with breastfeeding
Telephone/email support for the first six weeks after birth
