How Does a Birth Doula Fit Into The Care Team During a Birth?
A Birth Doula plays a unique and important role on a birth team. Across all birthing locations a birth doula is providing a level of support and education that, when done well, allows the rest of the medical team to focus on their jobs well knowing that the patient is well cared for. That is the dream, when a team works together like magic helping a whole family be born in the process.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Doulas are non-medical professionals so we are doing educational, physical, emotional, spiritual, and moral support throughout our time with a client
- Birth Doulas support the client which allows the medical team to do their roles well knowing their patient is well supported
- Birth Doulas fill in some gaps of time when your team would otherwise not be with you.
- Birth Doulas provide a level of continuity when you’re birthing at a location with shift changes and new providers you’ve never met

BONUS EPISODE - Calling All New Doulas!
I am so excited to announce the launch of my Doula Mentoring Program starting in January 2023!!!
This first group is the beta group, meaning that in exchange for your feedback you get a lower cost than it ever will be again and you get to help mold and shape the program into what it will be in the future.
I already have 2 spots taken and the group will be intentionally small, so don't delay reaching out if you're interested.
