Is a Doula for You?


Ever wondered who helps you and your husband during labor when the nurse has to attend to another patient’s needs?

What if it’s really busy and no one is available to help you to initiate breastfeeding right after the birth? How about who is going to help out when you first arrive at home and probably feel a little overwhelmed about being totally responsible for the baby? The answer to all of those queries is…a doula!
