Meet Gracious Doula

A doula is a person who provides emotional and physical support to you during your pregnancy and childbirth. Doulas are not medical professionals. They don’t deliver babies or provide medical care. A certified doula has taken a training program and passed an exam in how to help pregnant women and their families during this exciting but challenging experience.

If you think you might want or need additional support and coaching in the delivery room, a doula could be a good choice for you and if you have your heart set on a specific birth plan, a doula can be a good option because she’ll be your advocate if you’re having a hard time fighting for yourself.

There is one significant difference between a midwife and a doula. Midwives provide medical care for you during pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. Doulas provide you and your family with emotional, informational, and physical support during pregnancy, birth and the immediate postpartum period.

Since the beginning of time, people have been cared for and cared for during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Family, friends and neighbors from the community would join the new family to help guide them through their tender first weeks and months with a new baby. We can cite some of the benefits below: Physical Support, Emotional Support, Partner Support, among others.
