I always ask parents to think back to a life changing event in their lives such as their wedding day or the day they purchased their first home. You will no doubt remember these events forever. The birth of your baby will be an even bigger event in your life many times over.
If you are married or planning a wedding would you be comfortable paying a wedding coordinator or even your best friend to organize your wedding for you - with absolutely no input from you? Would they really know what is best for you and your partner?
So how can a Doula (doo-lah) help you through this life changing experience? A Doula is a woman who supports a mother and her family through the child-bearing stages, ranging from preconception through to babyhood.
Women need reassurance and information during pregnancy and early motherhood. They also deserve support, both physical and emotional, from another woman who has been through a similar experience. A doula provides all this and more: empathy, compassion, strength, understanding and empowerment.
The term doula was coined in the book 'The Tender Gift' by Dana Raphael, which promotes the benefits of women teaching other women about mothering. The term now refers to a non-medical labor assistant hired by the parents, whose role is to comfort and support the mother and father before, during and after the birth of their child. The acceptance of doulas in maternity care is growing rapidly with the recognition of their important contribution to the improved physical outcomes and emotional well-being of mothers and infants.
Your baby only gets one chance to be born into this world - we can help make it a positive and empowering one for you and your family.
