Love is All we need
Birth Doula Support
Women generally have a better birth with a doula because of the much needed and much lacking birth support. Birthing in hospitals mean you are usually left to labour on your own with your husband - with a nurse coming in sporadically to give you cervical checks. The doctor comes in at the end. Feeling alone and unsupported at birth lead to increased pain.
Many women had long and painful births with traumatic outcomes. Sometimes when an unexpected c-section is needed, a doula provides the reassurance and information that is often lacking.
​
Many women had interventions that harmed them and their baby. We often think these things will not happen to us. Unfortunately, the birth environment is not set up for you to be able to do things that your body is naturally made to do.
​​
You can avoid traumatic outcomes through education, knowing what to do, what your rights are and how to avoid unnecessary intervention. I will show your partner what to do to help you progress labour and how to take charge of the situation. I will be there for both of you to provide the support for you to optimise your birth experience.
