146. 5 Questions to ask when Interviewing a Birth or Postpartum Doula
Monday Jul 31, 2023
Monday Jul 31, 2023
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.
