Doulas are not the same as midwives. A midwife is a medical professional, while a doula provides non-medical support. Doulas do not perform cervical checks or monitor your baby’s heartbeat. Instead, we educate you throughout pregnancy and remain by your side for your ENTIRE labor, offering both physical and emotional support.

This is actually a misconception that I had before I was pregnant. The truth is, each doula is different. While we all share the same goal—to support you—the way we do so can vary. That means there’s definitely a doula out there who’s the right fit for you!

That’s why the first meeting is so important. Make sure you are super comfortable with the doula you hire. -And if you’re not feeling it, don’t feel shy to change to someone else.

This goes with the one above. The role of a doula is not to judge you for your choices. We are here to support you!

Completely false! We actually help educate your partner (whether its your spouse, sister, mother, etc.) on how they can help as well! That’s a big part of the training.
