I strongly believe that you have the right to be fully educated about your choices during labor and delivery.
I provide doula support to moms and their partners on the south coast of Massachusetts and on Nantucket. For rates, please contact me. I am flexible, adjustable, and feel that every woman who wants a doula should have one.
Pre-natal:
- One or two pre-natal visits
- Creating a birth plan
- Unlimited 24 hour phone consultation
Labor and Delivery:
- Continual support from the beginning of labor until you and your baby are happy and healthy.
- Including: Instruction on non-clinical pain relief and comfort methods
- If logistically feasible, I can also take pictures of your labor, birth and recovery.
Post-partum:
- Assistance with establishing feeding
(breast and bottle)
- Advice and help to the family as they adjust to the new baby
- Postpartum visit scheduled one week to one month after the birth
- If desired, I provide post-partum doula support for you and your infant This usually includes performing some basic home-help tasks for a few days after your baby is born, and is usually a separate fee from the birth fee.
