Transition Prenatal Education

Transition Prenatal Education Helping to make your pregnancy, birth, postpartum & parenting as empowered and informed as possible There is no right or wrong way to birth your baby.

As doulas, our intention is to provide non-judgemental, client centered support, helping you achieve a beautiful and fulfilling birth, as you define it. Every person deserves the ability to fully understand their options and feel completely supported in whatever they choose. Whether your birth is vaginal, cesarean, medicated, unmedicated, home, or hospital birth, we support you in whatever path unfolds and help you feel empowered and informed. We believe birth, in all its forms, is a sacred and transformative journey. Transitional support into parenthood is profoundly important. The birth of parents is just as significant and beautiful as the birth of babies. A healthy baby is important, but is not all that matters. The memory, experience and feelings surrounding your birth sets the stage for your transition into parenthood.

Evidence.

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

In case you needed some sweetness in your day.

If someone you know has a miscarriage, please don’t say…

Don’t say “it wasn’t meant to be.”
Don’t say “everything happens for a reason.”
And definitely don’t say “at least it happened early.”

Because to that mom, it was meant to be.

She already imagined the due date. The name. The tiny fingers.

She already loved that baby more than words could ever explain. 💔

Sometimes silence, a hug, or “I’m so sorry” means more than anything you could ever try to explain!

Our Story

As doulas, our intention is to provide non-judgmental and evidence-based support to help you to have the most empowered birthing experience possible. We know that birth is a mystery and we intend to help prepare you to harness that power, rather than fear it.

Every parent deserves the ability to fully understand their options and feel completely supported in whatever they choose. There is no right or wrong way to birth your baby. Whether your birth is vaginal, cesarean, medicated, unmedicated, home, or hospital, we support you in whatever path unfolds and help you feel empowered and informed.

We believe birth, in all its forms, is a sacred and transformative journey. Transitional support into parenthood is profoundly important. The birth of mothers and fathers is just as significant and beautiful as the birth of babies. A healthy baby is important but is not all that matters. The memory, experience, and feelings surrounding your birth sets the stage for your transition into parenthood.
