Labour / Birth Support
As your birth companion (doula) I will meet
with you 4 times antenatally.
We will work together to find the essence of the
birth you would ideally like.
By the time you go into labour you will have an
excellent understanding of how normal birth unfolds and how to deal with
the unexpected.
You will have a number of pain-coping techniques
in place which we will have practised together.
Being on-call for you around the month of your
due date you will ring me at the first signs of labour although you may not
need me until some time later.
During labour, I offer everything from massage,
creating a safe space for women to find their inner birthing knowledge,
supporting the father in supporting the mother…… to making tea!
As part of my birth companion work I also visit
postnatally for debriefing, breastfeeding support and general help in the
challenging early days / weeks.
