2. Get the RIGHT support from our team
While many doulas practice solely to support your birth experience, at Four Trimesters you will be welcomed into the support of our entire team. Doula support consists of a primary and secondary doula plus a team behind them to ensure continuity of love, care and support throughout your entire journey.
The doulas at Four Trimesters Birth Sanctuary nurture the continuum from conception to parenting. During pregnancy, we assist you in finding information to support the kind of birth that you want and help you work towards that experience. During labor, we support you in each and every one of your choices. Our doulas serve from the heart, supporting mothers eye-to-eye, breath-to-breath, heart-to-heart, serving and supporting mothers and their families through this magical time.
3. Have a safe & empowered birth
At Four Trimesters we truly appreciate that the birth of your child is an extraordinary moment.
Our team of doula’s will empower you to have your best birth possible - easy, short, and relaxed - regardless of the outcome, welcoming your baby into the world gently, blissfully to carry these beautiful and positive memories for your whole family through a lifetime.
The entire team worked day and night to support us.
"Preparing for birth & delivering and nursing a baby is a whole new world filled with many unknowns. There is so much to be learned and discovered.
Attending the antenatal classes taught by Ginny is one of the best decisions we made! I love how Ginny encourages you to face your fears and normalizes things that are often not talked about! The classes are informative, to the point and practical which is aligned with Ginny’s style. Expect a steep learning curve and lots of homework. In 6 sessions, my husband and I felt empowered to start this adventure together, knowing the 4T clan would be there to support us along the way.
We wanted and had an intervention- and drug free birth at the 4T sanctuary. The entire team worked day and night to support us. Kudos to Ginny for running such a tight ship. Ginny balances being empathetic (i.e. listening to your needs or concerns) and being productive (i.e. keeping you on track). The early morning chats during breastfeeding sessions were not only incredibly valuable but also extremely interesting! Thank you so much for everything!”

You engage the entire Four Trimesters doula sisterhood - Not just ONE doula
While many doulas practice solely to support your birth experience, at Four Trimesters you will be welcomed into the support of our entire team. Doula support consists of a primary and secondary doula plus a team behind them to ensure continuity of love, care and support throughout your entire journey.
We work hand in hand with your Obstetrician & Paediatrician
We know the importance of mother-centric care and have strong and respected working relationships with the many wonderful medical practitioners who ensure your safety and care throughout your birth is of utmost importance. We communicate with the medical teams to ensure everyone is on the same page that ultimately gives you the support you need to have the birth that you want.
Pioneers of Active birth and water births in Singapore
Having pioneered initiatives into Singapore such as implementing water births at NUH in 2006, to empowering many hospital staff from all over Singapore to appreciate the need for Active births and mother-centric care, is driven by one pure intent. To ultimately create safe and empowered birth experiences for mothers like you can be heard so you can have the birth you want.
Systems in place to ensure continuity of care
18+ years of serving women and their families in Singapore has allowed us to develop the systems of structure and support that you will need in your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. We utilise technology to ensure open communication that leads to seamless support and care through your entire birthing experience.
Continuing education - Our Doula’s are always developing themselves
We choose to align with doulas who have a pure intent to serve, support and grow within themselves. We work with ibirthprofessionals accredited doulas who serve alongside doula sisters of all levels of experience to ensure they are up to date in their practice of care and support. Their heart shows through their skills and applied knowledge, evolving from their continued journey of personal and self development.
We are Passionate and committed to YOUR positive birth experience
Giving birth is at times slow. Then we have to work as a doula team to make sure you are continuously supported. Sometimes mothers lose trust in their ability. Then we have to work with her partner to reinstate hope and trust. During the last part of labour our expertise in guiding a baby through a pelvis can make all the difference.
We truly want you to have the birth you desire.
