Our prenatal classes are designed to help expecting parents prepare for childbirth and early parenthood. We cover everything from prenatal nutrition to breastfeeding and infant care.
A doula's role during a birth is to provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the birthing person and their family. Unlike medical professionals, doulas do not perform clinical tasks but focus on creating a positive and empowering birth experience. They assist with comfort measures such as breathing techniques, massage, and positioning, offer reassurance and encouragement, and help the birthing person advocate for their preferences. Whether at home, in a birthing center, or in a hospital, a doula works alongside healthcare providers to support the birthing person's needs and ensure they feel informed and supported throughout the labor and delivery process.
A postpartum doula's role during the postpartum period is to provide comprehensive support to new parents as they adjust to life with a newborn. This includes offering practical assistance with baby care, such as feeding, diapering, and soothing techniques, as well as helping with household tasks like meal preparation and light cleaning. The postpartum doula also provides emotional support, listening to the parents' concerns, offering reassurance, and helping to address feelings of anxiety or overwhelm. Additionally, they educate parents on newborn care, help with breastfeeding, and connect the family with resources or other professionals if needed. The overall goal is to ensure a smooth and confident transition into parenthood.
Virtual support from a doula for new or expecting parents involves providing guidance, education, and emotional support through digital platforms such as video calls, phone calls, and messaging. During pregnancy, a virtual doula can help parents prepare for birth by discussing birth plans, offering prenatal education, and addressing any concerns or questions. During labor, the doula can coach the birthing person and their partner through contractions, breathing techniques, and positioning, all while offering encouragement and reassurance remotely. In the postpartum period, the virtual doula continues to provide support with newborn care, breastfeeding guidance, and helping parents navigate the emotional adjustments of early parenthood. Virtual doulas also assist with connecting parents to additional resources and professionals as needed, ensuring they feel supported even from a distance.
