Who’s a doula?

A Doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to you and your partner during labour and birth. A Doula meets you during your pregnancy and gets to know you and your preferences. She also extends her care during post birth to help with feeding and newborn care.

Benefits of having a birth doula

Research has proved that continuous support by a Doula has many benefits including:

• Shorter labour
• Less chances of a caesarean birth
• Reduced need of pain medication
• Reduced need for interventions
• Reduced need of having an assisted delivery
• Increase in partner’s confidence
• Facilitating mother-baby bonding
• Helping the mother to initiate breastfeeding immediately after birth
• Helping to have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience

When to book a Doula service?

It is NOT possible to book the Doula Services during labour. It should be booked in advance as we have limited Doula requests per month. The ideal time to meet your Doula would be between week 28 and 34 of your pregnancy, so that you have enough time to discuss your birth preferences with your Doula.
