In this episode of Entering Motherhood, we explore the world of doulas and their essential role in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. We begin by understanding what a doula is and the different types available.
Next, we clarify the doula's role as a support companion rather than a medical professional. We delve into the numerous benefits of having a doula present during labor, including reduced medical interventions, shorter labor, and increased breastfeeding success.
To ensure you find the perfect doula, we discuss when to hire one and the importance of early search and interviews. It's essential to ask the right questions, which we provide as a helpful guide.
Ultimately, we emphasize the significance of finding a doula who aligns with your values, offers the desired services, and establishes a strong connection with you. Trust your instincts and choose someone with whom you feel comfortable and supported.
If you're looking for doula care in the Greenville SC area or prefer virtual doula services, reach out to me, I love supporting mothers along their journey of entering motherhood.

In this podcast episode we talk with Kallista Andersen about how we can put our life on autopilot during the postpartum period. Kallista helps pregnant mamas get ready for their baby by preparing their self, space, and significant other. She does so through her podcast, The New Mom Boss Podcast, as well as coaching, and online courses. Kallista is a Registered Nurse, a Certified Lactation Counselor, and is a mom of 3. Her dedication to helping first-time moms was born when she had her first 2 kids 13 months apart, experiencing the new mom phase back to back. It is her mission to make preparing to be a new mom simple and thorough so that women can enter motherhood with confidence and joy, and be able to truly bond with their baby and partner.
