It's šHOAš HOA šHOAšseason and here is our argument on why Rosalie was a top notch DOULA to Bella Swan!
Okay, hear me outā¦ Rosalie Hale might not have had a doula certification, but when it came to Bellaās pregnancy, she stepped into that role like a PRO!
When everyone else was panicking, Rosalie was the one who said, āOkay. Breathe. We can do this.ā She became Bellaās advocate, caretaker, and protector ā all the things a great doula does.
Hereās how Rosalie modeled amazing doula support:
āØAdvocacy: When others (even Edward!) thought terminating the pregnancy was the only option, Rosalie stood up for Bellaās wishes. She made sure Bellaās voice was heard ā thatās doula work 101. She backed her up ALL the way EVEN against medical recommendations, her family, and those pushing against her.
āØPhysical Support: Once she took on Bellaās care, Rosalie helped feed her, kept her comfortable, and made sure she had what she needed ā even improvising when Bella began craving blood smoothies (true commitment and not unlike placenta smoothies if we are being honestš).
āØEmotional Presence: Bella trusted Rosalie to be calm, confident, and present ā someone who wouldnāt waver when things got scary. Rosalie created a safe, supportive space for Bella during her high-risk pregnancy.
āØBirth Assistance: When the birth turned emergency-level intense, Rosalie did not back down but stayed calm and supported through it. After the birth? She cleaned her up, dressed her up, and got her ready to meet the world again (which doulas can also do)š
š¬ Whether itās a supernatural birth or a normal one, the essence of a great doula remains the same ā advocacy, presence, compassion, and trust.
So next time you reread Breaking Dawn, just rememberā¦ Rosalie Hale? Total doula energy. š©øāØ
