Atlanta Birth Doula

Supporting mothers and families through the birth process.

So what is a birth doula?

 

A birth doula’s role is to support the birthing mom through childbirth. We offer physical, emotional, and partner support during this exciting process. Research shows having a birth doula decreases cesarean rates, use pain medication, use of pitocin, and increases positive birth experiences.

We do not make medical decisions on your behalf or perform medical procedures. We do help get you the information you need to make an informed decision so you maintain control of your birth.

 

Why you need a birth doula

A birth doula brings knowledge and experience to the birth. While a birth is exciting it can also be unpredictable. We will work with you before birth to help with education, positions, and your birth plan. Through proper preparation, you will feel empowered during your birth. Research shows women who felt in control of their birth and decisions made during the process have positive birth memories.
