FAQ and Resources
-
A doula is a companion through your prenatal, birth and postpartum journey. A birth doula assists your birth through emotional, physical and informational support.
-
Postpartum doulas support families during their transition home with their new baby. During their home visits they provide support with recovery from birth, lactation, and infant care.
-
More and more insurance companies are covering birth support! We connect you with a certified doula that will provide an invoice you can use to get reimbursed up to a certain amount.
Doulas can also provide receipts for reimbursement through FSA or HSA funds.
If your company provides health benefit programs like Carrot or Progyny, they might cover doula expenses.
We encourage our clients to have a “doula fund” on their baby shower wish list!
-
Studies show that families working with doulas have a lower rate of interventions and higher satisfaction with their birth and postpartum experience.
-
Doulas support families in all the choices they make during their birth and postpartum journey. Your doula(s) will provide information and remind you of your options so you can make informed decisions. Most of the families we work with give birth in hospitals and have an epidural.
