What is a Doula?
A doula provides you and your family with support through pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum. We are not medically trained but have experience, knowledge and provide continuity of care to the birthing person. Doulas work together with the family and midwife or obstetricians, providing practical, emotional and informational support. They don’t give advice but can help you make informed decisions by offering balanced and evidence based information.
What will The Reigate Doula bring to my birth experience?
My continuous presence brings warmth, humour and calm reassurance to you and your partner.
Knowledge and understanding of the physiology of birth.
Unquestioning trust in your decisions and your body.
Suggestions of alternative comfortable positions.
Protection of your space, advocacy, asking for time and space when being asked to make decisions.
Control of the environment; lighting, temperature, sounds, smells.
Ensure you remain hydrated, nourished and rested between surges.
Physical support, such as massage and hip squeezes.
Prioritising your birth preferences.
Remaining with you or your baby in the hours after birth.
and Sweets- I’ve nearly always got sweets in my bag and I’m happy to share. Probably Jelly Babies.
Back up Birth Partner/ Doula
If you’re concerned that your partner or doula might not be available for your birth I can provide back up cover for those days. Dependent on dates given and availability.
I am also open to shared care opportunities with other doulas. Please send an email to discuss further.
